Lawsuit Challenges Federal Student Loan Caps for Graduate Programs
A coalition of 25 states and the District of Columbia has sued the Trump administration over new federal student loan caps for graduate programs. The rule limits borrowing to $100,000 lifetime for most graduate degrees and $200,000 for professional programs like medical or law school. Critics argue this could exacerbate shortages in critical healthcare professions such as nursing.
