7,1986  \nVo1.14,No.45  \n# ED'S INCOME-CONTINGENT LOAN PROGRAM RIPPED AT HOUSE HEARING\n\nWhile tying student loan repayment to income may be an admfr able idea,the Edu-cation Department's plan to replace the National Direct Student Loan(NDSL)program with\"income-contingent\"loans is unworkable,said a congressionalleader and two prominent educators yesterday.  \nLikening ED's plan to a\"Rube Goldberg contraption,\"House Postsecondary Sub-committee Chairman William Ford,D-Mich.,said the House and Senate had“spenta great deal of time\"studying income contingency during the 1980 Higher Edu-cation Act reauthorization process.  \nNeither body could come up with a workable plan at that time and ED's new pro-posal succeeds no better,said Ford as the postsecondary panel completed itsfourth and final hearing on the Reagan administration'sBUDGET-fiscal 1987 budget proposal.’87Under ED's proposal,the NDSL program,with its 5 per-  \ncent interest rate,would be converted into an unsub-  \nsidized,income-contingent plan.Borrowers'payments would be redetermined an-nually on a progressive schedule based on total loan debt and adjusted grossincome figures documented through tax records.Only institutions electing toparticipate in the income-contingent plan would be eligible for new federalfunds to add to their NDSL revolving funds.  \nFord said the program would be\"virtually impossible\"for many small institu-tions to administer.  \nStrong DoubtsW.Ann Reynolds,chancellor of the 325,000-student-Califor-nia State University system,agreed with Ford's criticism。\"We have strongdoubts about accepting an additional costly burden of administering a programchar acterized by uncertainty and complexity,\"she said.  \nReynolds said the present NDSL structure works well and should not be replaced.\"Our systemwide default rate as of last June 30 was only 5.87 percent,\"shesaid,adding that such success is due to \"intensified billing and collectionefforts.\"  \nThe Rev.Robert Mitchell,president of the University of Detroit,suggestedthat the federal government might better apply income-contingent repayment tothe Guar anteed Student Loan(GSL)program,since it appears to have betteraccess to Internal Revenue Service income information.  \n\"We,frank1y,are concerned …  about the awkward position for institutions in(more)  \n(O  \nMar ch 7,1986  \n# ED's INCOME-CONTINGENT LOAN PROGRAM RIPPED AT HOUSE HEARING(Cont.)\n\nhaving to request tax forms from alumni to whom we must also make appeals foralumni support,\"Mitchell said.  \nFord indicated that ED should have studied income contingency in greater detailbefore floating its proposal.  \n\"I don't believe anybody at ED or OMB [the Office of Management and Budget]ever talked to us about it,\"he said,adding that education officials from boththe Carter and Nixon administrations could have shed light on the trials andtribulations of exploring income-contingent student loan repayment progr ams.  \nBudget Cuts LambastedED's income-contingent loan program was not theonly proposal receiving criticism yesterday.State officials from Massachu-setts and New Jersey said plans to cut feder al student aid in fiscal 1987 wouldseverely damage higher education in their states.  \nJohn 01ver,a Massachusetts state senator from Amherst,said his state wouldsustain a 30 percent cut,or $120 million,in federal student aid funds if ED'sbudget is approved.\"Under this proposal,everyone loses,\"he said.\"Thereare no winners.\"  \nIn recent years,0lver said,Massachusetts has poured more of its own moneyinto state student programs.\"But we are in no way able to pick up more than afraction of the $120 million loss,\"he added.  \nT.Edward Hollander,New Jersey's Chancellor of Higher Education,said hisstate has nearly doubled the amount of state grant aid funneled to undergradu-ate students,\"while the amount of federal grant aid has remained the same yearafter year.\"The cuts proposed for federal student aid programs would repre-sent a loss of about $100 million to New Jersey stu","cbCaisys8IbcfQRI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisys8IbcfQRI","pdf",1190556,"English","# ED's
