About this episode
The episode discusses the reduced options for student loan forgiveness facing this year's college graduates due to changes in policy.
This year’s cohort of college graduates will face fewer student loan forgiveness options than previous cohorts. That’s because there’s been a sea change in debt forgiveness under the latest Trump administration. On today’s show, host Douglas Haynes is in conversation with education reporter Nadra Nittle about the broken student loan system in the US and her recent article for The 19th.
