>The only "news article" [1] I can find that references this mentions 0.3% of student loans were discharged through bankruptcy in 1977 [2]. It actually says something much stronger - it says that 0.3% of the value of all federal student loans given before 1977 had been discharged through bankruptcy, not in 1977. In 1977 wouldn't make sense because the amendments making it impossible to discharge student loan debt through bankruptcy were made in 1976.
