NEWS FROM NASFAA

While many borrowers are still experiencing a reprieve from monthly student loan payments, as the ongoing federal student loan moratorium enters its third year, new data is showing concerning trends in default patterns. The Urban Institute recently released a report that dug into the disproportionate effect student loan debt has on Black borrowers’ credit when compared to their white peers.

On Wednesday Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), currently the ranking member of the House Education and Labor Committee, received a waiver from her Republican colleagues that she will need in order to return to her leadership position on the panel during the next congressional session. Because the role of committee chair is a term-limited position, per House Republican rules, the waiver would allow Foxx to pursue leading the education panel for the 118th Congress.
