BUSINESS INSIDER: There’s a fight between angry student debtors and the Education Department over a law nobody knows how to interpret

Career College Central Summary:

For-profit college chain Corinthian Colleges abruptly shut down at the end of April, amid federal and state investigations into its supposedly predatory practices.
Now, former students and student advocacy organizations are seeking wholesale loan forgiveness under the "defense to repayment" provision within the Higher Education Act.
That law lets borrowers cite a college's "acts or omissions" as reasons why they shouldn't have to pay their loans back.
The only issue: The Department of Education (ED) admittedly doesn't know how to interpret the provision.
The provision was added just 15 years ago, and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan acknowledges that it hasn't really come up much before now, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported.

Student advocacy groups are pushing the ED to issue a wholesale discharge of all loans for all students who attended Corinthian.
