Advocating against waste, fraud, and abuse in higher education
Protect Students and Taxpayers is a coalition of organizations working to address predatory practices in higher education and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not wasted on college programs that do not deliver.
The coalition is engaged in research, advocacy, and litigation and works on behalf of students, veterans, faculty and staff, civil rights advocates, researchers, and others concerned about unaffordable student debts and predatory practices.
The coalition strongly supports policies that offer college students common-sense consumer protections. We seek to improve transparency oversight and accountability in higher education, and to address the disproportionate impact that predatory practices by colleges have on students of color, low-income students, and veterans.
Supported Policies
A clear and fair process for borrowers who have been lied to or defrauded by colleges to assert a defense to repayment of their student loans
Taking the recruiting target off the back of student veterans and ensuring that veteran benefits are restored in cases of fraud and deception
Implementing the gainful employment rule to ensure taxpayer dollars are not wasted on high cost low quality programs
Maintaining and strengthening the existing ban on incentive compensation payments (sales commissions) to college recruiters
