Missouri Student Loan Service Provider Emails Reveal

The Student Borrower Protection Center obtained newly released emails and exposed staff at a student loan service provider in Missouri expressed confusion over the state’s attorney general placing the provider at the center of a lawsuit filed to block President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.

The Guardian reported that the United States supreme court is anticipated to issue a sentence on a legal challenge to the president’s student debt forgiveness of up to $20,000 in the coming weeks. That challenge brought by the Missouri attorney general and five other Republican-led states and another challenge filed by the conservative advocacy organization, Job Creators Network, reached to the supreme court.

Ella Azoulay a Student Borrower Protection Center researcher and policy analyst had claimed that the emails confirmed the partisan hack job of Missouri’s lawsuit to block student debt relief.
