‘We Will Keep Suing.’ 17 States Slam Betsy DeVos for Blocking Rules on For-Profit Colleges

Democratic attorneys general in 17 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Education Secretary Betsy DeVos over the department's decision to block Obama-era protections for students attending for-profit colleges.

The suit argues that the department violated federal law by freezing the "gainful employment rule" without sufficient justification or public input.
