Dec. 14 (UPI) -- The state of California filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education Thursday, saying it failed to process thousands of debt-relief claims from students who took out federal loans to pay for Corinthian Colleges, a now-defunct, for-profit school.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra accused Education Secretary Betsy DeVos of violating the Administrative Procedures Act by delaying the claims. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, an Inspector General report found that 26,000 claims have been submitted and two have been processed. Those two were denied relief.
