Two state college systems have sued the department, and the changes came the same day as a scheduled court hearing

In an announcement posted Tuesday morning to the Federal Register, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said she planned to publish a rule "on or about today," which would restrict undocumented students from accessing $6 billion in federal coronavirus relief funds.
That rule would give previous "guidance" the force of law, walking back DeVos' previous walk back of the restrictions.
However, the Education Department walked back that decision hours later, sowing more uncertainty among school administrators about how to distribute billions of dollars in aid.

Put simply, DeVos was saying that schools should not give money to undocumented students, but if they do, the government cannot stop them.

Yet another clusterfuck by the most incompetent Secretary of Education in US history. BTW. I absolutely love the picture that Salon chose.

Face? Gohmert's is actually closer to a real rat's face. Devos looks like the poor rat after being crushed in a trap.
