I built StudentDebtLaws.com as a free resource for institutions and the student-finance community on federal and state student-debt laws. The goal: help get your bearings, find the right authorities, and ask better questions before you contact counsel.

I have neither support for Western nor disdain for Michigan and that still felt terribly wrong to this impartial observer

Fighting Montgomery County paper bag tyranny. I don’t mind paying a .05/.10 but they start negatively impacting your quality of life with the outright bans…

I haven’t posted here in a long time, but this work is worth sharing. COHEAO has released Mapping the Gap, a new report on how federal graduate and professional loan caps may create uneven financing pressure across higher education. coheao.org/mapping-the-gap/

Has anyone else noticed the announcement on the delay in student loan garnishment references OBBBA now allowing two chances at loan rehab? That doesn’t kick in until 2027; and ED was adamant no Direct Loan payments count until July 1, 2027 at neg reg ed.gov/about/news/press-rele…

I maintain that we do not appreciate the legend of Jim Abbott enough The man was born without a hand, was a staring MLB pitcher for a decade, threw a no-hitter, and even got a hit What are your baseball accomplishments with two hands? I personally led my JV team in HBPs and errors as a HS junior
Nice to see Jim Abbott back on a MLB mound as he threw the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium last night

How did a tweak to Direct Loan repay saving $100+B get Byrd bathed, but other parts of the bill arguably making major policy changes survive? Repay tweak seems perfect reconciliation fit (provided the courts didn’t outlaw pre passage). I can’t make sense of it.

Hey @dcwater 9:30 means 9:30. Your crews cut our blocks water off at 9:15. Why have door knockers if you aren’t going to follow them

Note that your document uses “approximately” to describe the amount of time for the repairs, but the start time has no descriptor, suggesting it is a precise time. This is horrible customer service. Language matters. Do better!

Federal outlays in FY 2023 were $6.1 trillion, so improper payments would be less than 4%. I'm sure Americans would welcome action to reduce fraud -- that's part of what inspectors general at 17 different departments did until Trump fired them.
Forty-three paragraphs into the NYT's latest hit piece on @elonmusk, the six (!) by-lined reporters reveal that the federal government lost $236 billion to apparent fraud ("improper payments") in 2023 alone. Maybe this isn't the dunk you guys thought it was?

I caught A Complete Unknown. Thoroughly enjoyed it. There was only one thing missing: Positively 4th Street. I don’t understand how you can make a film where the climax is Newport in ‘65 and not play that song at some point. Could have even been during the credits!

Replying to @RobertMSterling
Luigi is a random, private school clown who never lettered in shit and murdered someone who was 1000x more successful with far more humble beginnings. This shouldn’t be hard. And anyone who thinks it’s hard is a goddamn idiot

Everyone in higher ed over the next 5years when the prop school debate reaches masters programs
Ten percent of all graduate students in the U.S. are enrolled at just 15 online mega-universities.

The only one that makes money is the one that is flat out predatory.
All loans except Parent PLUS now cost the government money.

This might be the most tone deaf postgame comment from a conference I’ve ever seen! Your “command center” literally gave them the W cc: @EddieRoyalWR @HokiesFB @WhitBabcock
