White House starts scrapping pending regulations on transgender athletes and student debt

Category: Politics

President Biden is withdrawing efforts to protect transgender student athletes and cancel student loans for over 38 million Americans, as part of a strategy to prevent the incoming Trump administration from easily retooling these regulations. The Education Department is focusing on helping borrowers return to repayment after the pandemic while also clearing loans for 55,000 borrowers through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. The decision comes amid a potential government shutdown and ongoing litigation regarding Title IX and student loan proposals.
