A federal judge has temporarily barred Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive student data following a lawsuit from the American Federation of Teachers. The judge found insufficient evidence that the data was necessary for DOGE's objectives, despite another court ruling allowing access. Concerns were raised about the privacy of student financial data, leading to an injunction on DOGE's planned audit of the student loan system for at least two weeks. The case highlights significant privacy concerns amidst government reform efforts.
The judge's decision highlights the ongoing tension between government initiatives aimed at reform and the fundamental need to protect sensitive personal data.
AFT president Randi Weingarten emphasized that individuals expect their financial and personal information to be safeguarded when applying for federal assistance.
