The U.S. Department of Education issued guidance Wednesday, urging institutions to adopt practices that keep student delinquency and default rates low, emphasizing that responsibility lies not only with financial aid offices but also with overall institutional leadership. The department warned that colleges with high default rates could lose eligibility for federal student aid programs.

Over 42 million Americans carry education debt exceeding $1.6 trillion. Critics argue that the administration’s approach scapegoats schools while reducing support for borrowers. Staff cuts and program eliminations have left hundreds of thousands of borrowers in backlogs for affordable repayment plans or forgiveness decisions, with median household monthly bills potentially rising sharply under recent legislative changes.
