Eric Schneiderman to Host Facebook Town Hall on Protecting Students

On November 14, at 1:30 p.m. (ET), New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will host a live town hall on Facebook to take your questions on student loans, predatory for-profit colleges, his office's work protecting students under the Trump administration, and other education issues that are affecting residents across the state.
"College is more important than ever in today's economy -- but affording an education without drowning in debt is getting more difficult. The average student debt for New Yorkers is now over $30,000. Predatory for-profit colleges continue to exploit students' aspirations. 
"The administration in Washington keeps siding with special interests over the students who they are supposed to protect -- including, right now, by using their tax bill to try to take away the interest deduction for student loans.
"I've directed my office to act aggressively to help students get a fair shake -- and I want to hear from you about the issues you’re facing," said the attorney general.
