Federal student loan payments are paused until August 31, but according to one of our recent polls, 65% of Latino voters support government action to cancel some or all student loan debt for borrowers. #CancelStudentDebt usatoday.com/story/news/educ…

What the SOTU missed? “…the devastating impacts of staggering levels of student loan debt. Nearly 1 in 3 (31.4%) of Latino Gen Z and 30.8% of Latino millennials have student loans.”

Our nation’s more than 62 million Latinos need continuing support from @POTUS and from Congress to improve the lives and futures of their children and families. #SOTU unidosus.org/blog/2022/03/03…

Like most Americans, Latinos urgently want a peaceful resolution to this terrible conflict and stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. #SOTU

Research that reflects and accurately depicts the real experience of people is hard to come by, esp for Latinos. Yet, I found my not so unique college story here. unidosus.org/progress-report…

I remember learning that there are 168 hrs in a week. The finite # helped me calculate how much time I had left to study after commuting, working, eating, being in class etc.

More oversight of for-profit colleges may come soon, from @usedgov. Why does this matter for Latinos? "Students of color disproportionately enroll in for-profits, which makes for-profit regulations a racial justice and civil rights issue."- @AIsabelMartin_ diverseeducation.com/leaders…

Will a Gainful Employment Rule for For-Profit Colleges Return?

The U.S. Department of Education next week will start debating a gainful employment rule that could more strictly regulate the for-profit college industry.

Student loan forgiveness would mean everything to Latino students stuck in a debt cycle

The student loan crisis disproportionately affects Latino students. Forgiveness of at least $10,000 would mean a huge weight off their shoulders.

There's a surprising reason preventing some students from finishing college: lack of transportation. Hispanic students were 19% more likely to report transportation problems as creating a barrier than non-Hispanics, according to our study with @UNC. washingtonpost.com/education…
