Join us at our second @UC_SLLI research showcase this Thursday! us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… @Dcollier74 will present on his work on Public Service Loan Forgiveness #PSFL Adam Goldstein will present work with @CharlieEatonPhD on Income-Driven Repayment #IDR

The data brief was primarily authored by @UC_SLLI postdoctoral scholar, Sultana Fouzia and @Econ_Marshall. It recommends that @usdoegov cancel the debts of borrowers below median income and reduce the debts of those between median and the 90th percentile.

Last month, we released a data brief responding to the @usdoegov's request for data on what groups of student loan borrowers might experience significantly greater hardship than others. @daliejimenez presented the brief at the last negreg meeting: slli.org/databrief3

Today, the @usedgov announced that they would be holding another round of negotiated rulemaking talks on Feb. 22 and 23 specifically to discuss the question of under what categories of hardship could the Department cancel some/all of someone's student debt usatoday.com/story/news/edu…

@Econ_Marshall @daliejimenez @usedgov Here's a fact sheet about the data brief: slli.org/databrief3fact…. Our other data briefs can be found here: slli.org/data-briefs

@Econ_Marshall @daliejimenez @usedgov Our recommendations: (1) cancel all student debt for students in the bottom half of the income distribution, and (2) reduce student-debt-to-income ratios to at most 30% for borrowers between the median to 90th percentile of the income distribution.

Our third SLLI Data Brief is on our website: slli.org/databrief3, coauthored by Sultana Fouzia, @Econ_Marshall @daliejimenez, and Jonathan Glater. We analyze 6 measures of hardship and weigh on one of the questions @usedgov asked in the current negotiated rulemaking.

Real solutions are needed to end this era of employer-driven debt. Experts just released a major compendium shared with @POTUS’s administration, mapping out how to curb exploitative stay-or-pay contracts such as worker TRAPs. ➡️ protectborrowers.org/experts-releas…

outstanding stuff by @MrMikeVasquez while schools cash in by renting their names to OPMs, recall that the OPMs' OWN DATA shows the modal outcome for students is that attendance "Did not impact my job situation at all" while students are left in tens of 1000s of pricey debt

@theSBPC @UC_SLLI Did you guys submit an amicus brief to the Supreme Court? #studentloanforgiveness

NEW! @UC_SLLI research finds the student loan payment pause was even more helpful for California borrowers than previously known. As SCOTUS deliberates on debt relief, the benefits of broad federal action to protect borrowers are clearer than ever! protectborrowers.org/new-research-s…
