No Bailouts for Campus Criminals Act

This bill prohibits federal student loan forgiveness for individuals convicted of crimes related to protests at colleges or universities. Specifically, it blocks loan forgiveness under the Higher Education Act or other Department of Education programs for people convicted of offenses under federal or state law tied to protest conduct at higher education institutions. It applies to federal student loans (including those under the Higher Education Act and Health Education Assistance Loans) but does not affect repayment requirements. The policy directly targets loan forgiveness eligibility, not loan repayment, for those convicted of protest-related offenses.
