...companies are thus not only betraying students but also the American government and the American dream. The monetary incentives for such behavior are reaching unimaginable proportions. The student loan industry is approximately a $14 billion per year industry, and it is growing. All it takes to create a cash cow is to establish a niche at a few universities. Ultimately it falls to colleges to resist the temptation to make a quick buck and stand up for their students.
