I would be fine forgiving the interest.  But the debt, that's a choice they made.

Lol, this is really dumb situation, they wanted the education, and agreed to it, and to pay for it.

I would agree. I also wish that people had more autonomy to shop for student loan rates than what the system currently provides

I would be fine with being able to get out of it through bankruptcy.  Where a judge makes a ruling on it

I'm fine with that too.  At least then, they'd have their degree but a horrible credit score.

How much value does having a degree carry in the working world? Sure if you are going to be a doctor. Lawyer or an accountant but for the rest of us the cost of college is going to carry with us for half our adult life. For something that we signed when we were 18. Too young to rent a car. The bank would not give us a loan for a house but it is perfectly fine to go in debt 90k. The education system is broken because it is for profit.  A 4 year degree could be completed in 2 years easily if not for the fluff classes students are required to take that have ZERO to do with their grade but but certainly help the schools bottom line.

Good to hear, because accountability is what allows people to succeed. Without it, one is likely doomed to failure
