Department Of Education And Secretary DeVos Held In Civil Contempt

The Department of Education was held in civil contempt for violating a court order to stop collecting loans from students of the defunct Corinthian Colleges. The court ordered the department to pay $100,000 in damages. The department admitted to misinforming over 16,000 borrowers about their loan payments. Judge Sallie Kim criticized the department's minimal compliance efforts. The Department of Education expressed disappointment in the ruling but acknowledged mistakes and took steps to rectify the situation. This decision is part of ongoing legal challenges faced by the department.
