This guy is too stupid, weaselly and/or irresponsible to be any kind of ethicist. At least Wesleyan was smart enough to turn him down.
UW-Madison is a better, more highly ranked and regarded school than CT College, too. I take it they turned him down as well?
Yet he and his parents, signing all the loan docs each semester, didn’t know what they were getting him into? And he chose to major in music performance along the way? Then by grad school, coming from a third-tier college, he was taking on that further amount of debt in hopes of a high-paying academic career?
Bioethics must not involve ethics either, except the Marxist kind. Ethical people consider their ability to repay a loan before borrowing. They don’t blame lenders for being “predatory”.
The answer to whether this person is a moron, a thief, or a scoundrel, is “Yes”.
If they’re eligible for bankruptcy relief then the rates ought to be much higher, because they’re already defaulted on at incredible rates.
Really though, all we need to do is to get the feds out of funding college at all. Let low-cost online colleges flourish in the breech and everyone will be much better off.
*breach*
Time for my morning coffee.
No, President Trump should pull the plug on federal funds for college—which is essentially another form of crony capitalism. But he won’t—as won’t any of the other candidates.

lemmee see if I got this straight...
person has a masters degree yet cannot add or subtract..
person has a masters degree yet cannot read what he or she is signing yet signs it anyway....
person has a masters degree in a useless subject that virtually guarantees little to no employment...
conclusion: person with a masters degree is an idiot and should be made to pay back every penny wasted on this endeavor...
So he ran up $200,000 in loans, didn’t pay enough attention to realize it, and now it’s everyone’s fault but his?
Maybe he’s a victim of his credit card debt too.
If student loans were eligible for bankruptcy relief, nobody would be able to borrow $200K for a Master’s degree in “Bioethics” (whatever that is).
Get rid of the free-money fire hose and all these goofy “Studies” majors will disappear and tuitions for everyone else will revert to the levels they were a generation ago when a person could pay for the bulk of their college expenses with summer/weekend work.
I’d just get the gov out of the SL business completely and of course banks can write private sector SLs with whatever terms they want.
But I am totally against “forgiving” or changing for the worse to taxpayer or private-sector lenders the terms on the government-involved loans that have already been given out.
It proves my point. Maleducation should not be rewarded. Numbnuts can go dig ditches for which he is qualified and the university can stop offering crap degrees. STOP any government funding to education and the value of a degree will climb.
Years ago I worked in the student loan dept. of a regular bank. Clerks spent all their time sending out payment books for loan amounts of $500-$3000. (Beauty schools, air conditioning, like that). However, once the students had to pay, they went back to school! The payment schedule would be suspended and the new loan would be rolled over into the balance of what the student already owed. Payments delayed!
As I recall, $5,000 was the maximum. And those students had to make those payments eventually. The bank charged a government subsidized interest rate, but soon the politicians blamed the banks for gouging the underclass. I think the government took over completely . . . who knows.
Also, each ‘school’ had to be certified by the federal government. You can imagine how effective that was. Those students really got cheated.
The feds decimate every new field of funding that they open.
Well, there's your problem right there.
It appears that his parents played a role in this C__F___ as well.
If this is true, this is a ridiculous policy.

1. Financial Peace University would be a class wide requirement during Freshman Fall and “Total Money Makeover” would be the required reading during orientation versus some 3d world crap.
2. GI Bill would be the only form of Federal Financial aid (ok - this is a wish...)
See, this is why I write off Free Republic on my income taxes as Therapy / Medical Expense.
I read an article like this, and all the replies calm down my blood pressure.
