Um... what about people who are getting loans who are currently studying? I think it's a bit unfair  on these people... if you're going to do that, it would probably need to be future students...

Is there a mechanism to direct additional funds to public universities? Because I can see tremendous pressure on public universities from students who don't want to pay the higher interest-rates of private loans.

Sorry, I don't think I'm asking unreasonable questions here... Also how do we define 'for-profit'?

Because how you define that term will in fact impact other institutions...

Whether it's easy to do or not doesn't mean that it shouldn't have a clear definition in the Bill. I don't see why this has to be contentious -

Can public universities be considered "for-profit" though? I can see a lot of big private schools being considered for-profit, but I can't imagine any tax funded school being for-profit. That said, we need some way to clarify schools as for-profit, because I cannot support any bill that essentially bans federal aid to any private university. I know that isn't the aim of this bill. We do need clarification though.

THANK YOU!

That was all I was asking for, a little bit of reasonable clarification...
