It is unfortunate that Trump officials have to resign in order






A senior government official appointed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos resigned Thursday, saying the current student loan system is “fundamentally broken” and calling for billions of dollars in debt to be forgiven.

A. Wayne Johnson was hired as the chief operating officer of the Office of Federal Student Aid, which manages the country’s $1.6 trillion outstanding student loan portfolio. He later worked in a strategic role, directing how student loans are serviced for borrowers.

“Wayne Johnson got an inside look at how student loans are hurting borrowers, and he could not deny the evidence: America’s student loan program is a massive failed experiment that is hurting borrowers and our economy,” said Julie Margetta Morgan, a fellow at the liberal Roosevelt Institute.

Yet Johnson stands apart from the others in a more critical way. “It’s the first Republican support for widespread student loan forgiveness,” Kantrowitz said. “That makes it a bipartisan issue.”
