No college degree but lots of debt is ‘worst outcome’
|
UNPAID FEES: Unpaid fees keep many low-income students from earning their degrees when their college or university bars them from enrolling while their debt remains. Oakland University has dropped all fees, and Oakland, U-M Dearborn, Henry Ford Community College and Wayne State participate in a program to help such students return to any of their institutions. We also hear from the Michigan Association of State Universities and an MSU student from DeWitt who says dealing with college costs is more difficult than her coursework. By Hope O’Dell.
