Life & Work

Current and future college students who rely on federal student loans could be affected if this resolution passes. It would block changes to how the federal loan program operates, keeping the existing rules in place. Whether that is good or bad for students depends on the substance of the rule being blocked, which is not detailed in the resolution itself.
