A federal judge has ruled in favor of Elon Musk's Department
of Government Efficiency (DOGE), granting it access to student loan data
despite objections from student groups who argue it could cause irreparable
harm.
The ruling comes as Musk has pledged to cut the federal
budget by up to $2 trillion a year, including billions in federal student loan
funding.
U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss in Washington, D.C.,
ruled on Feb. 17 that he would not grant a temporary restraining order against
Acting Secretary of Education Denise Carter, allowing her to provide student
loan data to DOGE.
The University of
California Student Association (UCSA) had sought the order, arguing in legal
filings that DOGE's access to student loan information would violate privacy
rights and could potentially be misused.
