Trump admin ends student loan lawsuit

The U.S. Department of Education ceased efforts to overturn the public service loan forgiveness program after federal judges invalidated recent administrative changes. The program, which forgives loans for certain public sector employees after ten years of payments, aims to encourage careers in government and nonprofits. Courts ruled that the Department's new rules overstepped authority and threatened free speech protections, leading to the cancellation of the Department's attempts to modify the program.
