Signs of reform for America’s student debt

At least 40,000 people could soon see their student debt wiped away. That’s because of a change announced this week by the Department of Education. And this move comes as the Biden administration faces louder calls to make bigger moves to cancel student debt entirely - which currently stands at 1.55 trillion dollars. Plus, natural play-scapes are the new jungle gyms. And, trouble for workers who turn their Zoom cameras off. Guests: Danielle Douglas-Gabriel, national higher education reporter for the Washington Post and Axios' Linh Ta. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Erica Pandey, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Alex Sugiura, and Lydia McMullen-Laird. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
