Happy Valentine’s Day: We’re Breaking Up. Student Organizations Break Up with Big Banks

As pressure to demand accountability from banks grows nationwide, the United States Student Association and two of their largest affiliates the University of California Student Association, and the United Council of University of Wisconsin Students are leading the charge and moving almost $3 million in student money away from large banks that profit off our student debt. Bank of America, US Bank, M & I Bank, and Wells Fargo are giving out predatory loans to recent graduates buying homes, trying to buy our democracy with lobbying efforts, and are some of today’s top predatory student loan lenders, helping be a key driver in pushing student loan debt to the $1 trillion mark in 2012.
