Duncan Praises Taggart, FSA Team; Miller Says SAFRA Vote Would Change Washington
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan testified before the House Education and Labor Committee yesterday to discuss President Obama's education agenda. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA) was a hot topic during the hearing, and as expected, Duncan fielded questions about the proposed transition to 100 percent Direct Loans. He assured lawmakers that the switch could be made seamlessly, praising the "impeccable" execution of the Department of Education's Federal Student Aid team so far and noting that Direct Lending volume has already doubled. Committee Chair George Miller said he hoped the Senate would act on SAFRA soon, saying its passage bill would show "we're serious about changing Washington."

Delaware Senators Back Student Loan Providers (Delaware Online)
"Sens. Tom Carper and Ted Kaufman want to change student-loan reform legislation to help protect about 1,000 jobs," Delaware Online reports. "Carper and Kaufman, both Delaware Democrats, wrote to leaders of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Friday, saying they're concerned about the potential impact on Sallie Mae, which employs nearly 700 workers in Delaware ... They also made a pitch for Access Group, a nonprofit student-loan provider that employs 400 people in Delaware ... Carper and Kaufman said the legislation doesn't take into account the relationships that membership organizations such as Access have with their member schools. Access members are law schools accredited by the American Bar Association. Carper and Kaufman asked committee leaders to include additional provisions that would allow nonprofit membership organizations to service student loans from their member schools across the country."

Law Schools Offer to Pay Graduates’ Loans
Dreading student loan payments? While it may seem counterintuitive, you might want to think about law school. Two law schools are now offering to pick up the tab on student loan repayment for their graduates who go into public service. The University of California at Berkeley School of Law and Georgetown University Law Center are both unveiling new student loan forgiveness programs to complement the federal public service loan forgiveness program. Attorneys in public service professions typically earn much less than their colleagues who pursue more lucrative legal careers. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median income of all lawyers at just over $100,000, public interest lawyers can expect to start out making around $41,000 and many law students can expect to graduate with at least double that amount in debt. This can make pursuing a career in public service while living independently and avoiding default on debts nearly impossible

Video: Harkin Voices Opposition to Using Reconciliation to Pass Healthcare
Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, made it clear last night on the Rachel Maddow show that in his opinion, healthcare reform will not, and should not, be part of any budget reconciliation process. Yesterday evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unveiled the Senate's healthcare reform bill and is expected to call a vote later this week. The timeframe for a student aid reconciliation bill continues to be dependent on the fate of healthcare legislation. Watch the entire Maddow video in the article.
