Adjunct Faculty Loan Fairness Act of 2023
This bill expands eligibility for student loan forgiveness under the Higher Education Act by adding specific criteria for adjunct faculty. It directly affects part-time teachers at colleges, vocational schools, or Tribal Colleges who teach at least 9 credit hours per semester (or equivalent weekly hours) and are not full-time employees elsewhere. The key provision modifies existing law to include these teaching hour requirements as a qualifying standard for loan forgiveness. It does not create new programs but adjusts who qualifies under current federal loan forgiveness rules for educators.
