(Madison, WI) — The Madison College dean of access and student success says the president’s executive order erasing student loan debt will be life-changing for some. Keyimani (kee-MON-ee) Alford says some borrowers were never able to catch up, financially, while burdened with those loan payments. Millions of Americans will have up to 20-thousand dollars of debt eliminated by this week’s order. Alford says the students have had bad credit ratings due to loan defaults in some cases. This will give them a fresh start. Seven-and-a-half million borrowers nationwide actually have loans that are in default presently.
