"A federal judge has tossed out the Education Department’s rule that strictly limited graduate students’ access to higher federal student loan borrowing limits, a victory for universities, health-advocacy groups and others who argued the policy could stop students from earning advanced nursing degrees and pursuing other crucial professions," Inside Higher Ed reports. 

..."The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators wrote on its website that 'significant uncertainty remains as the ruling is only a day old. ED has not yet appealed, a path they can pursue, or commented publicly on any plans to issue guidance. For now, institutions should consult their own legal counsel before deciding how to proceed.'
