Program weaknesses which have contributed towards to abuse and fraudulent practices of federally backed student loans were identified. Witnesses included officials from major banks, guarantee agencies, loan services and student aid commissions and their testimonies focused on matters such as: guarantee agency solvency, the economics of student lending, institutional default rates, loan defaults, mismanagement of programs, and program reform, among other issues.
