Seth Frotman, Executive Director of the Student Borrower Protection Center: “This is a devastating indictment of the toll student debt is having on communities of color across the nation.

It is outrageous that the CFPB, which is charged with protecting borrowers from discrimination, has rolled back its critical oversight work of the student loan industry.”
