End Student Loans
End student loans as part of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act of 2014
Why is this important?
We can end student loans.
I have an awful amount of student loan debt and I am angry that student loan debt keeps growing for current students and folks in repayment. I don't want any other student to ever experience the problem's I've had with high student loan debt.
It's time that banks quit profiting from students quest for high education. It's time for college tuition to quit being a barrier for low and middle income students.
Oregon(1) has already shown that there is another way to pay for college. Instead of colleges setting tuition, all alumni should pay a small portion of income for 15 years to enable the next generation of students to attend college.
Pay 5% for 15 years- all the money back to your school, none of it to the banks.
If Oregonians can pay it forward, why can't every college seeking student also pay it forward?
Let' s use next years Higher Education Reauthorization Act to end student loans once and for all.
Sen. Harkin (IA) is the Chair of the Senate's Health,Education,Labor, and Pensions (HELP) committee and has the power to include Pay It Forward as part of this bill.
Tell Sen. Harkin to help us end student loans in 2014.
We can end student loans. Really, we can end student loans.
Let's end student loans.
