Originally appearing in the Associated Press on March 19, 2026, Collin Binkley talks to Kyra Taylor, staff attorney at NCLC, about the U.S. Education Department’s decision to hand off a portion of its student loan portfolio to the Treasury Department. Student loan advocates condemned the move, saying it only adds to confusion as the Trump administration overhauls student loan programs.
“The Department of Education has issued a dizzying series of rule changes that make it harder for borrowers to figure out what their options are on their federal student loans,” said Kyra Taylor, an attorney at the National Consumer Law Center. She warned that any errors in loan collection would have “devastating effects on families.”
