What it does

The Adjunct Faculty Loan Fairness Act of 2025 would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to allow adjunct and contingent faculty members to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) by expanding the definition of qualifying employment to include non-tenured track teaching roles at eligible institutions. To qualify, adjunct faculty must teach at least 9 credit hours per semester (or equivalent) and not be employed full-time by any other employer. The bill specifically affects part-time instructors at colleges, universities, postsecondary vocational institutions, and Tribal Colleges or Universities who meet these teaching and employment criteria.
