Well... I dumped Sallie Mae about 3 years ago...I’m glad she is doing good things with my money.

Well that’s something to look forward to Vacation of the Backs Of Students.😭😭😭

It just doesnt end.

So, a “private student loan lender” that is in the business of lending to students, decided to take a portion of their profits from their business to reward their employees is now subject to scrutiny?

Nice! The wealthy living in excess off the interest of the poor and middle class. I know, let's give them a tax cut so they can book Bora Bora next year!

Wha? I’m speechless. They could have traveled to beautiful Kansas City, Missouri...spent much less and had a fantastic time. KCMO

Pathetic. So much for draining the swamp

Wow! While many struggle to get through college and struggle to get jobs that pay a living wage AND pay off college loans.

This is wrong and should be looked into by the attorney general office isn’t this taxpayers money isn’t this government money

Interesting, they are celebrating from people's personal debt..only in America!

Nobody forced anyone to go to college. They willingly chose to take out loans
