Adjunct Faculty Loan Fairness Act of 2025

The Adjunct Faculty Loan Fairness Act of 2025 expands federal student loan forgiveness eligibility to include more adjunct faculty members. It amends the Higher Education Act to allow loan forgiveness for adjunct, contingent, or part-time faculty who teach at least 9 credit hours per semester (or equivalent weekly hours) at colleges, vocational schools, or Tribal Colleges, provided they are not full-time employees elsewhere. The bill directly affects non-tenured faculty in temporary teaching roles who meet these specific teaching hour requirements. This change modifies existing loan forgiveness criteria to explicitly include these faculty members under the Higher Education Act.
