President Joe Biden’s new plan to forgive student debt is likely to look much different than his first.
After the Supreme Court ultimately blocked Biden’s policy that would have cancelled up to $20,000 in student debt for tens of millions of people in June, the president immediately announced that he would attempt to deliver the relief another way.
His administration has already started that process, and established a “Student Loan Debt Relief Committee” — including Wisdom Cole at the NAACP, Kyra Taylor at the National Consumer Law Center and several student loan borrowers — to hash out the details.
