Opinion: Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Doesn't Do Enough For Black Women

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Moreover, Reagan accrued political capital by neglecting students in favor of keeping taxes low, creating an attractive model that inspired many state-level elected officials to adopt similar policies.
53% : Black women carry the highest amount of student loan debt and are the most likely to be underpaid and underemployed.
51% : Black parents specifically carry higher levels of student loan debt than any other group.
45% : Black women seeking degrees are more likely than any other demographic group to rely on student loans, and Black students as a whole possess more student loan debt on average than any other racial demographic.
45% : The growing unaffordability of a college education has just exacerbated this problem.
42% : This creates a complex equation: how do you support your family without a postsecondary credential and with significant student loan debt?
30% : Biden's plan to cancel student debt takes a necessary (though painfully belated) step toward remediating decades of tuition hikes and cuts to the funding that could have -- and should have -- been a lifeline for students in need.
