Default Rate on Student Loans Drops for 6th Consecutive Year.
Burd, Stephen
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n11 pA45-A47 Nov 6 1998
The student loan default rate was 9.6% in 1996, a decline of 12.8% since the 1990 peak, saving the federal government $3 billion over six years. Since 1993 the Department of Education has barred 1065 institutions, mostly for-profit trade schools, from participating in federal student loan programs; institutions with a 40% default rate can lose eligibility.
