No video of the festivities but a group of students occupied the provost's office. The Provost came out and basically said you have one hour. One girl cried that she was having a medical emergency and called 911 for a tampon. They didnt leave, they were arrested and expelled. Simple as that. ...

Yep. Not saying your parents were in this situation, but it’s generally the cheapest no collateral loan one can get. It’s an issue in low income communities. PLUS loans are no credit check loans at a decent rate for people who wouldn’t qualify otherwise. ...

I'm a higher ed administrator and work with these loans all the time. Im also a finance nerd. Do NOT take from your 401k and payoff her student loans. What you should do depends on the following: 1. Are these loans Title IV (normal student loans)? 2. If not, are they private student loans (...
