New Jersey’s attorney general filed suit in federal court on Tuesday against the U.S. Department of Education, and joined 19 other states in calling on the department to back off from what they describe as a pattern of limiting access to vital student loan information.

“Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Education demonstrate that its current leadership is more committed to shielding student loan servicers and predatory schools from scrutiny than it is committed to protecting students from misconduct,” Gurbir Grewal said in a release from his office on Tuesday announcing the filing of the complaint.
