More reading on the student debt crisis:
“Higher education today exacerbates and reinforces inequality and the racial wealth gap. Prior to COVID, 70% of Black Americans were projected to default on their student loans by 2020. ” @julialbarnard of @CRLONLINE http://www.franknews.us/interviews/440/buyer-beware-student-debt
"If you accept the premise that our higher education and student loan system are broken, then you have to accept the fact that much of the $1.7 trillion in student loan debt is unethical, immoral, and, frankly, shouldn't exist." @chounanian @DebtCrisisOrg http://www.franknews.us/interviews/451/who-profits-from-your-student-loans
"The student debt crisis is a national threat. 80 percent of people, according to the Department of Education, will likely never be able to pay their loans. That is 44 million people." @alanslj http://www.franknews.us/interviews/455/a-failed-lending-system
"Student loan debt takes away the economic benefit of higher education. You are paying off a loan instead of paying into your savings. Or buying a home. Or starting a business. Or caring for your family, having kids. Or just living without dread." @mcbyrne http://www.franknews.us/interviews/444/as-long-as-you-are-ashamed-of-your-debt
