Many colleges, concerned that the actions of a few individuals risk destroying the integrity of higher education, are engaging in some serious soul-searching. In an e-mail sent yesterday to 62 university presidents and chancellors, Robert Berdahl, president of the Association of American Universities, told the group's members that "even if you find that your student-aid office is doing nothing illegal, you should ask if your student-loan business arrangements, policies, and practices can stand the test of full public disclosure...
