Cotton: Taxpayers Shouldn’t Pay for Campus Criminals
Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced the No Student Loans for Campus Criminals Act, legislation preventing any campus protestor convicted of a crime from receiving federal student loans or any federal student loan relief. The bill comes after widespread, anti-Semitic protests shut down and disrupt classes on college campuses across the United States.

“American taxpayers shouldn’t underwrite the tuition of criminal, pro-Hamas protesters who deface their college campuses, disrupt classes, and endanger their fellow students. My bill will bring learning back to the heart of our American universities and institutions,” said Senator Cotton.

 The No Student Loans for Campus Criminals Act would:

  • Make any individual who is convicted of a state or federal offense in connection with a campus protest ineligible for federal student loans or any federal student loan relief.
