The makeup of the current committee, which predominantly consists of student loan borrowers and other proponents of student loan forgiveness, gives an unfair advantage to borrowers while ignoring the interests of taxpayers who did not amass student debt or never went to college. Because the membership completely aligns with ED’s policies, ED is acting in a manner that is contrary to one of the main purposes of negotiated rulemaking – offering balanced representation of groups that will be significantly impacted by the proposed regulations. DFI and the public have an interest in knowing the activities and communications related to the Department of Education’s 2023 Negotiated Rulemaking Student Loan Debt Relief Committee
