What's the impact of the Department of Education's new definition of professional degrees?

According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics:
- Almost 678,000 women who studied at the graduate level in 2023 would not be considered for the new, higher "professional" loan limits
- Almost 368,000 students of color who studied at the graduate level in 2023 would not be considered under the new limits
According to EdTrust, DOE's proposed changes "would deliberately underfund the degrees that staff hospitals, clinics, schools, and community organizations ... worsening existing workforce shortages and reducing access to care for millions of Americans."

Use the link below before March 2 and tell DOE that !
