DeVos personally invested in student debt firms and did not indicate in her confirmation paperwork that she ever divested. Then, she appointed an industry official to a top advisory post who also did not sever ties with the industry, causing a conflict of interest.

It’s crystal clear where DeVos stands on vulture lenders, the only question is why there isn’t more reporting on it.
