Defining Colleges' Liability for Fraud Claims

Clare McCann was quoted in Inside Higher Ed on holding colleges accountable for defrauding student borrowers:

“The Trump administration wants to help schools shed those borrower-defense liabilities,” said Clare McCann, the deputy director of higher education policy at New America.

McCann, a former Obama Education Department official, said lowering the liability of institutions would create a pretext for the department, as a steward of taxpayer dollars, to clamp down on relief to defrauded borrowers.
