Today, we face a proposal that could deeply undermine the work of every AAUW branch and state, our higher education partners, and countless nonprofits advancing justice across the country. The Department of Education has proposed a rule that threatens AAUW, higher education, and nonprofits nationwide.
- What it does: Gives officials new power to decide — based on politics or ideology — which nonprofits “deserve” to participate in Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).
- Why it matters: Branches and states may hesitate to speak out for fear of being targeted. Communities could lose access to education, health care, and justice. Staff could lose loan forgiveness even after years of service.
We cannot allow PSLF to become a political weapon. Submit a comment by September 17.
