The exact change
The article presented the college earnings premium as an established individual causal return and described the SAVE plan as currently providing relief without noting its 2024 court-blocked status; Maryland/Utah reforms, the one-times debt rule, and target-school admission were also flagged for review.
Qualified the earnings-premium claim as correlational/population-level and updated SAVE's legal status, while confirming the other three claims were already accurate.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The earnings-premium and SAVE claims were overstated or outdated; the rest of the article's claims were already correct.
