The state of California is suing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for
refusing to process the debt relief claims of thousands of students who had
federal student loans and were left in the lurch after the collapse of
Corinthian College.
The 25-page complaint filed by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D
) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on
Thursday accuses DeVos of violating the Administrative Procedures Act by
unlawfully delaying the approval of claims filed by defrauded students.
“What Secretary DeVos is doing is unconscionable,” Becerra said in a
statement.
