No Student Loans for Campus Criminals Act

Key Points

• This bill would take away federal student loan eligibility for anyone convicted of a crime committed during a protest at a college or university. This applies to crimes under both state and federal laws.
• People convicted of these crimes would also be banned from getting any of their current student loans forgiven, cancelled, or modified. This includes programs created by the Department of Education or through presidential executive orders.
• The rule would apply to many types of federal loans, including those issued before or after this bill becomes law. It covers standard student loans as well as specialized loans for health education.
• The goal of the policy is to discourage illegal behavior during campus demonstrations by removing financial support from the government. It targets conduct specifically related to protests at institutions of higher education.
