Biden’s new student debt relief policy blocked by appeals court

The two-page order did not explain the reasoning for the decision but noted that the case would be heard this fall.

“It is ordered that appellant’s opposed emergency motion for injunction pending appeal of the borrower-defense and closed-school provisions of a ‘rule’ governing student loan discharges is GRANTED,” according to the brief decision.

The group’s lawsuit stems from an April filing against the Education Department. The Biden administration rules went into effect in July and aims to expand the number of circumstances that justify loan relief.

The Biden administration’s policy, known as “borrower defense to repayment,” expands the number of types of college misconduct that trigger loan forgiveness and provides more relief to defrauded borrowers while easing the process for applications. It also makes it easier for borrowers to obtain relief if their institutions close suddenly.
