Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued a rule Thursday that would ban colleges from granting coronavirus relief funds to non-citizens, including those protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program.

The rule finalizes the Education Department’s (DOE) interpretation of a provision in the $2.2 trillion CARES Act that Congress passed in March which allocated $12.6 billion to colleges to fund emergency grants for students affected by campus closures.

Under a non-binding guidance the DOE issued in April, the department advised colleges to only give relief funds to students who typically qualify for federal financial aid, excluding international students and beneficiaries of DACA.

“It’s clear the CARES Act was written to help Americans recover from the coronavirus pandemic,” DeVos said in a statement to the New York Times. “U.S. taxpayers have long supported U.S. students pursuing higher education, and this rule simply ensures the continuity of that well-established policy.”

4. I am sure it will be challenged

in court, like many other agencies and rules, they are being challenged and defeated. Just have to keep doing that to keep the damage to a minimum until a new government is elected.
