This one is undergoing Telephone Game alterations as it passes around social media.

What's actually happening is that #DonaldJTrump's new "big beautiful" law said that only "professional students" can have certain levels of student loans, and the RISE committee of the USDOE is having a bit of a barney about what "professional degrees" qualify for this because of a wording mis-match.
