The Department of Education is finalizing a rule that would judge college programs based on how much money graduates make after leaving school. Programs whose graduates don’t earn enough compared to their student debt would lose access to federal student loans. According to estimates, nearly half of graduate programs in fields like art, music, theater, and dance would fail the test. If a program loses federal loan eligibility, many students may no longer be able to afford to attend, forcing them to transfer, switch majors, or leave school. This is outrageous! My daughter who studied film in college enjoyed a wonderful college experience that gave her tools to thrive. How dare this administration say it was worthless 🤬🤬🤬
