A coalition of 24 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday challenging a Trump administration rule that limits access to federal student loans for borrowers earning a graduate degree in several popular, healthcare-related fields.
“Higher education is expensive, and our health care system is already under immense strain,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. “This rule will shut talented people out of critical professions and leave communities with fewer health care providers they desperately need.”
At issue is a pair of complex changes that, taken together, drew the ire of the American Nurses Association and triggered Tuesday’s lawsuit.
