My sister-in-law was taken advantage by a predatory for-profit college in 2017. The school moved campuses to the other side of the city mid-semester (a HUGE problem for low-income students) & the teacher quit. 90% of the class, including my SIL, failed their licensing test.

When my SIL signed up for their program, their finance office told her they could get her a govt grant that would pay back the entirety of her ABSURD tuition loan. That, of course, was a lie.
Now they’re saying they “don’t remember” telling her that.

Their lies completely destroyed my SIL’s self-esteem & confidence in her own abilities to complete any form of higher education.
My brother & SIL are now being crushed under the weight of nearly $20k in debt while raising 2 kids & working service industry jobs during a pandemic.

Oh! I forgot the worst part: this predatory college lost their accreditation the semester BEFORE my SIL signed up for their program, and college officials didn’t tell her or any of the other students that they were signing up for a $20k *unaccredited* program. @RepKatiePorter

These are the stories that @BetsyDeVosED has spent the last 3 years not just ignoring but *specifically* working to make worse.
She made sure that my SIL couldn’t get out from under $20k in debt that she was tricked into that did nothing to improve her life.

Because of @BetsyDeVosED caping for predatory schools, my brother & SIL have struggled to put food on the table for their children.
I’ve had to help keep the lights on & gas in their tank, but I’m not exactly loaded either.
They were drowning & Betsy handed them lead weights.
