Forbes failed to note 3 points: - DeVos reinstated ACICS accreditation of predatory for-profits like her Walden U, to which she administers $700M in grad loans; - then serviced thru Performant, 1 of 2 firms contracted for collection; & - private loans = billions for Bank DeVos

No it’s not No one was Forced to take out loans.

She will only make it worse. And how much are we currently paying for her outrageous and unwarranted security detail?

Don’t worry, I get a call everyday from another wonderful company that offers studentloanrelief robocall shiftthedebt crisis

This is true! Doubling the loan amount even....this is crazy.. why push our young people to go in debt...straight out of high school.. it's literally a trap for financial failure. ..

Let's replace her!!

Thanks to the Government.

A crisis created by...the federal government. The gov’t gives taxpayer dollars to students of upper and middle class families. Who pay some of it back with interest. And the money goes to liberal universities who spend it on administrators and fancy buildings.Scheme

what a mixed bag america is....loads of debt and loads of billionaires and millionaires!

This is the cost of people trying to improve their lot in life.

Devos your a disaster

What do you mean 'NOW'!? Where have you been for the last 50 years?

... do something about it then.. don't just tell us things are bad...

Now a crisis The fact that an institution can provide a just legal adult thousands of dollars with zero assets or liabilities, or simply no credit history is a crisis.

Did she just woke up from a 50 years coma 🤔🤔

Capitalism.

It's big money. Goal from day one has been privatization.

Exactly. Colleges are businesses and they grabbed on to the Obama gravey train by raising tuition. College is not as valuable as it was before the internet. Now days knowledge is more universally available.

Why was an epidemic of teenagers taking out six-figure loans in their teens ever NOT considered a crisis

And water is wet....ladies and gentlemen, Sherlock Holmes is in the building.

Said Captain Obvious....

No, spending a couple hundred thousand dollars on a Feminine Studies Masters Degree is very stupid.

Using for everything but college books and tuition ==mismanaged funds .. guess you gotta finish college to understand personal finance, check balancing

Think?

Because before this people doing dumb shit with their college educations and borrowing money they can't pay back was....but people seem to want to ignore that part.

Less yapping; more solving.

Becoming higher than credit card debt 😱😱😱

Ya don’t say? 🤔

Betsy DeVos: America’s $1.5 trillion student-debt problem is ‘stealing from future generations’“The student-loan program is not only burying students in debt, it is also burying taxpayers and it’s stealing from future generations.' -- Betsy DeVos Yes, it's national crisis because lobbyists got with politicians who got with banks to give anyone with a social security number 30k-300k garbage education loans for a job market where 60% make 40k or less salary. They're non-bankruptable loans, the CDO trauches must be stacked. Plain and simple. An education shouldn’t cost that much. Remember the College commercials of early 2000's? Did they promise you job placement? Look at Borrowers Defense? Or IDR?
