1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Now it's time for our daily of Bloomberg Lobbref, exploring

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: legal issues in the news, and today Bloomberg, Lahouse student

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Grosso and Greg Sture discuss why nineteen US state Attorneys

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: general are suing Education as Secretary Bessie de Vos for

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: delaying protections for student borrowers. They speak with Catherine Lee Carry,

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: special counsel at Cooley. These are complicated rules are a

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: lot of different aspects to them, including standards that apply

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: when students who say they were defrauded want to get

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: out of having to pay the debts. What are the

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: attorneys generals seem most focused on in their lawsuit? The

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: ages are focused on for two primary issues, one being

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: what they considered to be deprivation of rights and benefits

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: for their enforcement actions, and the other being what they

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: consider to be harmed for to students. If the regulations

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: are rolled back, Specifically, as part of the new rules,

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: the Department of ED would have considered as part of

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: their process for determining whether or not student claims had

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: a basis or if a group claim could be created,

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: would be using an a g S successful enforcement action

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: against the school. And then on the student side, they

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: They are primarily focused on the idea of students having

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: the personal um rights of action against the school through

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: litigation as opposed to arbitration or class action that has

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: that would would have been essentially barred by the July

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: one rule, where schools could not force a student to

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: enter into an arbitration agreement or a class action waiver

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: prior to um an actual dispute coming up Kate. This

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: lawsuit came three days after the d C. Appeals Court

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: reviewed the e p A for unilaterally delaying Obama era

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: methane regulations? Did divas do the same thing here by

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: not engaging in the legal process for changing or rescinding regulations?

32
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: There does seem to be some correlation between the arguments

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: that are being made on both sides the There are

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: a couple of things that that seemed to distinguish the two.

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: One is that the e p A rule was already

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: in effect and it was just a certain provision of

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the rule that was to go and effect in June

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: that they were trying to roll back, as opposed to

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: the borrow defense rule, which had not become effective yet

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: at the time that they are trying to stay the rule.

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: But I do think that there are some similar legal

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: issues that will likely come up um in this A

43
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: G case that's similar to the case that came up

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: with the A P A in relation to their authority

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: to delay a rule that already went through the negotiated

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: rulemaking process and as Catherine and the League carry Special

47
