Rory O’Sullivan, Deputy Director of Young Invincibles and a lead student advocate on the Department of Education’s gainful employment rule-making panel, released the following statement on the for-profit college lobby’s decision to sue the Administration over the final rule:

“The for-profit college lobby’s decision to sue the Administration today is just another baseless attempt to help bad actors evade accountability on the backs of students and taxpayers. The gainful employment rule should be stronger, but is still a step to hold poorly performing programs accountable.”
