“Since day one, Secretary DeVos has sided with for-profit school executives against students and families drowning in unaffordable student loans,” said Maura Healey, the Massachusetts attorney general, who led the multistate coalition. Also on Thursday, two student borrowers sued the Education Department in the same federal court over the delayed rules. The students both attended the New England Institute of Art in Brookline, Mass., a for-profit school that stopped enrolling new students in 2015. The two student borrowers who sued the Education Department, Meaghan Bauer and Stephano Del Rose, focused in their lawsuit on that arbitration clause. Ms. Bauer and Mr. Del Rose said they were waiting for those rules to take effect before filing their lawsuit.
