Lexington Institute Hosts Student Loan Discussion

Yesterday the Lexington Institute held a policy forum in Washington, D.C. on the future of the federal student loan programs. Jason Delisle of the New America Foundation was a featured speaker along with representatives from Sallie Mae, the financial aid industry, and a student organization. A webcast of the entire event is available here.

Readers may wish to pay particular attention to a discussion between Sallie Mae Vice Chairman Jack Remondi and Jason Delisle regarding federal student loan program costs and market based cost estimates. The discussion begins 1 hour and 19 minutes into the forum.
