In a significant win for student loan borrowers, the Trump administration has agreed to a court-supervised plan that will speed up debt cancellation under income-driven repayment programs and protect borrowers from unexpected tax bills next year.
The administration and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) reached the agreement Friday in the AFT v. U.S. Department of Education case, resolving months of legal tension over the government's obligation to cancel student debt for borrowers who have made decades of payments under federal law.
The AFT said in a statement that the deal now awaiting court approval requires the Education Department to follow through on debt forgiveness for eligible borrowers in 2025 and ensures they won't face a surprise tax hit because of bureaucratic delays.
"For nearly a decade, the AFT has fought for the rights of student loan borrowers to be freed from the shackles of unjust debtand today, a huge part of that affordability fight was vindicated," AFT President Randi Weingarten said. "This year, we took on the Trump administration when it refused to follow the law and denied borrowers the relief they were owed.

So Trump bends the knee to Randi Weingarten and the AFT (why the **** do they even have standing to sue?) and does exactly what Biden was trying to do.
This is not what people voted for whatsoever.
If you took out your loans, you should have to pay them back. It is not everyone else's fault you can get a good paying job with a degree in Medieval Lesbian Poetry and a minor in trans-studies.
