The Biden-Harris Administration is taking three new actions to support students and borrowers in the wake of the Supreme Court’s disappointing decision on student debt relief. Watch as @SecCardona explains:
As members of the CT Legislative Black & Puerto Rican Caucus, we denounce the Supreme Court's ban on race-conscious admissions. This ruling undermines equality, disregards marginalized communities, and ignores persistent disparities. #Equality #Inclusivity #SupremeCourtDecision
A productive session #smartoncrime ctmirror.org/2023/06/26/ct-…
