"When it comes to leaving students with crushing debt they can’t repay, America’s richest colleges and universities are often the worst perpetrators. Under a new congressional bill, those institutions could face millions in fines if they don’t start giving students a better deal," USA Today reports.

...Karen McCarthy, the vice president of public policy and federal relations at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said colleges are still parsing through the bill. She said her group is waiting to hear feedback from more schools.

'We’re always on the lookout for unintended consequences,” she said. “With any bill of this size, we always have things that we like and areas of concern.'"
