The end of the public health emergency was declared in May, so opponents argued the circumstances no longer allowed the executive branch to pause the repayments. The act allows the Department of Education to "waive or modify" provisions of student loan forgiveness in the event of a national emergency. The pause on student loans has been in place since March 2020, evoking the Heroes Act of 2003. The higher education shake-up is sure to have ripple effects in the months and semesters to come. "I’ve always believed that the promise of America is big enough for everyone to succeed and that every generation of Americans, we have benefitted by opening the doors of opportunity just a little bit wider to include those who have been left behind," said President Biden.
It also comes following the decision that race is no longer able to be considered when it comes to college admissions. Change is in the air for higher education with the Supreme Court’s ruling 6-3 against President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, but questions remain.
