The rise in undergraduate degrees was supposed to increase prosperity and cut economic inequality. Biden’s student debt relief plan, which is being challenged at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, proves otherwise.

It’s by no means clear that the high court will ultimately spike the administration’s loan forgiveness plan, but it will have a range of opportunities.

Responsive organizing is essential to achieving policy reform.

A lot of the administration’s plans have perished at the hands of the Supreme Court’s conservative bloc. But killing this debt-forgiveness program will be tricky.

There are an untold number of borrowers who deserve some targeted relief of their own.

Though not nearly enough, the president’s move is a good one—and is the result of a decade-plus of activism by thousands of brave Americans.

Canceling student debt will prevent irreversible wealth loss in younger Americans. But they’re not the only ones who would benefit.

The pandemic should force America to remake higher education.

Millionaires in Congress have long since lost touch with most constituents’ concerns.

The longer Congress refuses to address the student loan crisis, the worse it will get.
