Summary
The University of California Student Association, a non-profit which advocates for undergraduate students in the University of California system, has sued the Department of Education in order to prevent federal student loan borrowers' private information from being shared with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE sought access to Department of Education databases that contain sensitive financial information about individuals who have taken out student loans from the federal government. The plaintiffs argue that the dissemination of private information held by the Department of Education violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Privacy Act.
