MOHELA is owned and funded by the state of Missouri, any injury to it is an injury to the state.

BTW I think current "standing" rules are a travesty and courts should stop dismissing cases on those grounds. It's just a way to weasel out of making certain decisions they don't want to. For example it's pretty clear that someone is harmed by the President giving out $400 million, there's no such thing as free money.

MOHELA is a public corporation. https://www.mohela.com/DL/common/publicInfo/financialStateme... and they make their income in large part from the processing of federal student loans. How is that being funded by the state? It seems MOHELA was pretty explicit that they did not wish to be part of the lawsuit and were simply being used as a way to try and gain standing https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/11/02/mohela-s...
