Judge halts Trump graduate loan limits
A federal judge blocked part of a Trump-era plan that capped federal student loans for graduate students in certain fields, including nursing, public health, and physical therapy. The ruling specifically halted the Education Department’s updated definition of “professional degree,” which imposed stricter work requirements and excludes many health-related programs from the loan caps. The judge found that Congress did not authorize these new requirements and expressed concern about reduced educational opportunities, particularly in underserved communities. The decision does not affect the loan caps themselves, and the Education Department is reviewing the order.
