2 for-profit companies want to stop $6 billion in student-loan forgiveness from reaching 200,000 borrowers in an already-approved settlement

"Intervenors do not wish to delay a legitimate settlement of this case or the granting of meritorious BD claims, but they cannot accept an illegal settlement that unfairly harms their reputations and prejudices their rights, as this settlement does," the group wrote in the filing. Prior to his final ruling, Alsup gave schools the chance to intervene, but he ultimately rejected their arguments.
