Judge blocks new professional student loan restrictions
The ruling preserves higher borrowing caps for some graduate programs while the case continues, but leaves the underlying loan limits in place.
- A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's new rule lowering federal student loan limits for graduate degrees in nursing and healthcare fields.
- Eight trade organizations sued to stop the rule from taking effect on July 1, and the judge sided with them.
- Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the Education Department lacked authority to narrow the definition of 'professional degree,' violating the Administrative Procedure Act.
- The judge did not prevent enforcement of the new loan caps, stating she could not override Congress's elimination of uncapped borrowing.
