#1 Thousands of former Corinthian students were already eligible for debt cancellation, but they had to file paperwork and navigate an application process that advocates say is confusing and not widely known.

Not being able to read or write oftentimes poses a challenge.

#2 Students who have paid off their school loans will not be eligible.

Once again, punishing people who did the right thing. Good job Brendan.

#4 Didn't realize the gov't is supposed to indemnify you for being taken by a scam.... (written in lemon juice on the back of the Constitution?)

#5 THE scam is the one in which academia has decided to enrich itself by making the secondary schools into a feeder system for colleges and universities. They turned themselves into paper mills to line their pockets with the aiding and abetting of the pols at the trough of the public treasury.

#6 falsifying data on the success of their graduates

So, different from most all inner-city schools these days how, exactly?

#7 Let us have some transparency; the debt is not cancelled, it is being pushed from the borrower to the taxpayer.

#8 If you graduated from 1 of these schools, would your degree still be valid?

Which is why 'voting coaches' are allowed in the polling booths.

#10 Where did all that money go? If the students used the loans to pay tuition, where did the tuition money go?

Besides, it's the government and Sallie Mae that deceives and defrauds students every day by encouraging them to take loans that they can never repay.

#11 The money went to teachers, administrators and financial functionaries who could not get jobs at real universities.

#12 $5.8 billion in federal student loan debt for 560,000 students who attended Corinthian (Wikipedia)

Or, just over $10k per student, on average. A different way to "Build Back Better". A boost to the economy!

#13 Brother-in-law got a degree from a similar program some years ago and has mostly paid off the loan. No regrets. Parlayed his degree into a great fiber optic job at a national research lab.
