YFP 125: Why Lowering Interest Rates for Student Loans is an Alternative to Debt Cancellation

Dr. Joey Mattingly, a faculty member at The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, talks to Tim Ulbrich about a recent article published in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education titled Before we talk about student debt cancelation, can we talk about the interest rates? They cover the basics of loan terminology, discuss why lower interest rates would have such a significant impact on student indebtedness and discuss the reasons why lowering interest rates may be a better option than loan cancellation or forgiveness.
