Senators introduce Adjunct Faculty Loan Fairness Act to expand student loan forgiveness for part-time faculty.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Mazie K. Hirono, along with Senators Dick Durbin, Alex Padilla, Ron Wyden, and Cory Booker, has reintroduced the Adjunct Faculty Loan Fairness Act of 2025. This legislation aims to allow adjunct faculty at colleges and universities to qualify for the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, addressing their often low pay and job instability.
The bill proposes changes to the current requirements, enabling eligibility for loan forgiveness based on teaching nine credit hours per semester at eligible institutions. Senator Hirono emphasized the important role of adjunct professors, stating, "They are not currently eligible for the same benefits as full-time faculty," while advocating for this necessary student loan debt relief.
Supporters of the bill include major organizations such as the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association. The proposed legislation is seen as a response to the current challenges faced by adjuncts, who often juggle multiple teaching positions with inadequate compensation and benefits.
