This joint resolution nullifies a rule issued by the Department of Education (ED) on September 23, 2019. The rule revised the process for a student loan borrower to obtain a discharge from a student loan if an institution of higher education misrepresented a material fact. Among other requirements, the 2019 rule requires each borrower to apply to ED for a defense to repayment. However, under the previous 2016 rule, an application could be submitted on behalf of an entire group (e.g., veterans).

J. Res. 76 / S. J. Res. 56, which applies the Congressional Review Act to repeal the Education Departments seriously problematic new borrower defense rule Oppose the notice published in the Federal Register on September 19, 2019 by the Department of Education regarding the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). Disaggregated data reported in the CRDC by race, ethnicity, native language, socioeconomic status, English learner status, disability status, disability type, and sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity) help us to know about students experiences in schools and whether all students have equal access to education. Effective data collection and dissemination are necessary for evaluation and review of all other programs and activities. Any change to limit the scope, frequency, or public accessibility of the civil rights data collection would certainly hamper the ability of the department to fulfill its legal obligations and would undermine our shared interest in the best education for every child. Support HR 5363, The Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education Act or the FUTURE Act under which $255 million in annual mandatory funding would be permanently authorized for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs). The bill represents a compromise between the House and the Senate which permanently reauthorized the fund and increased Pell grants.
