Education Secretary Miguel Cardona urged patience as the administration tackles its next steps on student-loan debt relief, a signature initiative of President Joe Biden’s, saying officials were dealing with a system that is broken.
“We are cleaning up a big mess,” Cardona said in an interview on Bloomberg Television with David Westin on Friday. “We’re improving the system so that we’re not in the situation where students are left with a lot of debt and low income.”
