ayy baby maybe I'll finally get my college loans paid off (which should have been an easy, rational decision if not for the unqualified, DT-appointed Supreme Court). Unfortunately, this decision currently only applies to "elite institutions" that are "private, national universities that have long been in the top 25 of the U.S. News & World Report rankings".

I'm hoping that this precedent will help more people feel relief from a predatory lending practice that has tried to pillage the inherent profits that come with an investment in skills development. Learning is an inherently beneficial activity and it doesn't just stop when you graduate high school (or whatever level of education is currently supported in your locality). Learning is simply the process for developing a more refined understanding of our reality, and it doesn't just stop abruptly when you exit your teenage years. In order to be self-sustaining, a society must invest in its future, and so far, the only proven mechanism for that investment has been the acquisition of further knowledge.

It's great to see such engagement around the recent legal developments regarding higher education and student loans. The case of Henry v. Brown University and other elite institutions highlights the ongoing challenges associated with predatory lending practices and the impact on students and their financial well-being. The implications of this case are significant, as it addresses alleged antitrust violations that artificially inflated the net price of attendance for students receiving financial aid. While the decision may currently apply to "elite institutions," it raises important questions about the broader implications for students across different types of educational institutions. Furthermore, the discussion around the predatory for-profit college industry and the efforts of organizations like the Project on Predatory Student Lending to advocate for borrowers and influence policy solutions is crucial. Their work in holding institutions accountable to the law and advocating for a more just education system is commendable. As the conversation continues, it's important to consider the wider impact and potential reforms that can address predatory lending practices, provide relief for borrowers, and create a more equitable higher education landscape for current and future students. This case serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for vigilance and advocacy in the realm of higher education and student lending practices.
