As it has done in the past, NASFAA has tried to remain neutral when it comes to the FFELP vs. DL debate. Instead, we have focused our efforts on ensuring that any change to the student loan system will be as effective and easy to implement as possible. NASFAA’s approach has brought heat from aid administrators, lawmakers, and colleagues from both sides of the debate who feel that NASFAA needs to take a stronger stance either for or against FFELP elimination. In the face of this polarity, NASFAA has attempted to focus on long-range needs and goals, and to broker the best possible solution in the context of the current political reality.
