TICAS Letter of Support for the Protecting Students from Creditor Colleges Act (AB 1160)

TICAS Letter of Support for the Protecting Students from Creditor Colleges Act (AB 1160)


In a letter to the California Assembly on Higher Education Committee, TICAS expressed its support for AB 1160 (Pacheco), the Protecting Students from Creditor Colleges Act. AB 1160 would help students persist and graduate with a degree in hand, by protecting them from the educational barriers and economic harms posed by the growth and prevalence of institutional debt, debts owed directly to schools. This bill aims to protect students by extending critical consumer protections and restricting harmful debt collecting strategies.
