WI Joins Lawsuit Over Student Loan Limits for Nursing Students

Wisconsin is joining 24 other states in suing the Trump administration over student loan limits for nursing students.

The administration imposed new limits on federal student loans for graduation programs, letting a short list of professional degrees, like medicine and law, borrow more. The new rules exclude nursing, physical therapy and nurse anesthesia programs. Critics say it will price students out of advance practice roles and worsen the healthcare worker shortage. The Trump administration has argued most programs still fit under the caps, with the change meaning to pressure schools to lower tuition.
