Durbin, Krishnamoorthi Join Merkley To Protect Students From Worthless Degrees

Statement

"Unfortunately, too many students are lured in by the false promises of for-profit colleges, believing that they are being trained or educated to do a certain profession. But after being buried in debt, students find that their program does not qualify them to become licensed in their chosen profession," said Durbin. "Our bill protects students from these for-profit college scams by prohibiting federal student aid dollars from going to programs that don't meet the professional licensure requirements and leave students with mountains of debt and no job prospects."
