Sept. 12 (UPI) -- A federal judge on Wednesday ruled against Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in a lawsuit brought forth by 19 states that accused her department of delaying the implementation of regulations on student loan providers.
The lawsuit centered around the the Borrower Defense rule, which clarified and strengthened procedures for borrowers to raise claims of fraud and misrepresentation. It was written under the Obama administration in 2016 and set to go into effect on July 1, 2017.
