  Their owners - the State of Missouri - are the plaintiff. It should go without saying that I don't require my employees to support legal actions I undertake relating to an entity that I own. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Education_Loan_Authority_of_the_State_of_Missouri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Education_Loan_Authorit... Edit: In reality, the technicalities in this case stretch that analogy - Adler writes about that as well in his penultimate paragraph, linking to opinions falling on either side: https://reason.com/volokh/2023/02/08/arguments-for-standing-in-the-student-loan-cases/ https://reason.com/volokh/2023/02/08/arguments-for-standing-... https://reason.com/volokh/2023/02/09/third-party-standing-doctrine-shouldnt-block-lawsuits-challenging-bidens-student-loan-forgiveness-plan/ https://reason.com/volokh/2023/02/09/third-party-standing-do... https://reason.com/volokh/2022/09/05/does-anyone-have-standing-to-bring-a-lawsuit-against-bidens-student-loan-debt-cancellation-policy/ https://reason.com/volokh/2022/09/05/does-anyone-have-standi...
