Senator Hassan on Bill to Protect Students from Predatory Higher Education Practices

Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), a member of the Help, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, joined Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Democratic Whip, on the Senate floor to highlight legislation they introduced last week that will help protect students and taxpayers from predatory higher education practices. The PROTECT Students Act will help safeguard students, including servicemembers and veterans, and taxpayers from predatory and anti-student higher education practices and ensure that higher education meets the needs of hard-working students. The comprehensive bill has been endorsed by 56 organizations representing and advocating for students, families, taxpayers, veterans and service members, faculty and staff, civil rights and consumers.
