Anyone expelled or fired for these reasons would be required to repay their federal student loans under a standard 10-year repayment plan and would lose eligibility for all loan forgiveness programs. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to both current and future loan borrowers. No specific funding is mentioned in the legislation.
