A proposition like this is really exciting to me! As a recent college grad (though admittedly one who's very lucky to not have loans, though my partner is screwed with them), I am particularly sensitive how how insane it is that college students are sold massive amounts of debt that many will take years to pay back. And a lot of new systems to help students pay them back are ineffective at best and disgusting at worst.
I am intrigued to see what the other motives are here. I doubt that there will be much change in how students pay back college debt, but we do need some sort of real change. I would be really excited to see a cultural shift away from profiteering from student debt.
