    "Here it is: tomorrow morning, the government cancels the student loan book. Every balance, zeroed. The Crown writes off $16.2 billion of assets against its own accounts, net debt ticks up accordingly, and 622,892 people wake up owing nothing.

    Now the question that matters. What, in the real economy, just happened?"

    It's also a cautionary tale of how 5.6% interest and a further 9.6% in penalties on arrears can transform a once modest debt into a millstone.

  19. #ICYMI (I know I did)... Apparently, part of #Trump's #BigUglyBill involved withholding future student #FinancialAid if they withdraw from a class. Wow...!

    "Beginning in Summer 2026, changes to #FederalStudentAid under the One #BigBeautifulBill Act will significantly affect how federal direct loans are adjusted when students withdraw from courses or reduce enrollment. Several of you have met with me via zoom to learn more about these changes, and I am grateful for the questions and conversation.

    What’s changing in brief:

    - Financial aid for loan borrowers may now be recalculated based on a student’s enrollment, even in cases where students continue to pay for all of their credits.

    Students who withdraw from courses may:

    - Lose eligibility for a portion of their aid in a future semester and/or,

    - Owe a balance back to the university

    Please contact the Office of Financial Aid with questions or refer students directly for individualized guidance.

    Thank you for your continued support of our students during this transition."
