Durbin Introduces Legislation To Improve Accountability Of Foreign Medical Schools Receiving Federal Student Aid
Press Release
Issues: Higher Education Legislative Branch
“Medical schools in the Caribbean shouldn’t be able to reap millions in U.S. federal student aid by taking advantage of loopholes in U.S. law. It’s time to crack down on these for-profit schools’ tactics with the Foreign Medical School Accountability Fairness Act. Their students face massive student debt and a smaller chance of actually becoming a doctor than students at quality U.S. medical schools. By closing this loophole, we can bring fairness to the eligibility requirements and increase accountability of schools that receive federal dollars to better protect students and taxpayers.”
