> Colleges and universities argue that, should such a measure be implemented, it would harm schools that take on disproportionate numbers of low-income students, like historically black colleges and universities and for-profit schools.

This strikes me as bizarre. This is supposed to be a protection for the student, not the school. If schools are failing their students, they should be held accountable, especially for low income students. If someone gets into a school, takes on loans and drops out, the college didn't do the student any favors

It's almost like their admitting they wouldn't give out loans to low-income students.
