Responding to the letter sent by Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings to more than 900 colleges that have 80% or more of their student loans with a single lender, three Michigan schools have defended their student loan practices. Michigan State University College of Law, Alma College, and Lawrence Technological University claim that private lenders provide them with better deals than they would receive from federal student loan programs and that there is nothing wrong with the fact that most of their students use the same lender. Nineteen Michigan schools were included on the list of 921 schools that were allegedly dominated by a single loan provider.
