Bill > S937

This bill, called the "No Student Loans for Campus Criminals Act," would prevent individuals who are convicted of any federal or state offense related to their conduct during a protest at a college or university from receiving federal student loans or qualifying for loan forgiveness, cancellation, waiver, or modification. Specifically, these individuals would be ineligible for loans made under part D of Title IV of the Higher Education Act, which covers federal student loans, and would not be able to have their existing loans forgiven or modified. The bill applies to a wide range of covered loans, including those made under parts B, D, and E of Title IV of the Higher Education Act, as well as Health Education Assistance Loans. The term "institution of higher education" is defined using the existing definition in the Higher Education Act, which typically includes accredited colleges, universities, and other post-secondary institutions. The bill aims to create a punitive measure that would financially penalize students who are convicted of offenses related to campus protests by restricting their access to educational financial support.
