Student loan debt in the United States has skyrocketed to over $1.75 trillion, and that number is only expected to grow as tuition costs increase. While working toward student loan forgiveness is an option for some, many have been left with high interest rates and large monthly payments. In the Student Debt Crisis Teach-Out™, examine the factors leading to the student loan debt crisis, review the state of student loan forgiveness legislation, and explore how federal loan forgiveness could impact the economy and higher education. Consider varying opinions on the state of the crisis and hear from those looking to eliminate student loan debt to those suggesting forgiveness in limited instances. Featuring the expertise of researchers, lawyers, economists, student loan advocates, and financial aid advisors, this Teach-Out provides resources to discuss student loan debt, forgiveness plans and policies, and alternatives to higher education.
