These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Progressives emphasize harm to students and equity benefits lost
Likely opposed to the resolution because it blocks a Department of Education rule named for student success.
They would worry this prevents new student grant opportunities and undermines administrative action on higher-education supports.
Any benefits from oversight would be weighed against likely harms to students and equity goals.
Mixed reaction: values congressional oversight but wants more information about the rule’s costs and effects.
Would seek CBO score, implementation details, and evidence the rule benefits students before supporting disapproval.
Pragmatic about fixing poorly designed rules but cautious about blocking student assistance without alternatives.
Likely supportive of the resolution as a check on executive-branch rulemaking and to prevent expansion of federal programs.
Views disapproval as restoring congressional authority and preventing regulatory overreach or unfunded mandates on states and colleges.
