From the Chronicle of Higher Ed:
These 20 institutions could be found in violation of a new federal rule on student-loan defaults if it took full effect today instead of in 2014, as planned. The colleges could escape risk by lowering their default rates before then. Colleges in violation can lose eligibility for federal student aid. For-profit institutions appear disproportionately affected by the new rule. Only three colleges named below are not for-profit: Benedict, Jarvis Christian, and Texas Colleges. An institution would violate the rule if for three consecutive years, 30 percent or more of its borrowers defaulted within three years of their scheduled start of repayment, or if the institution's default rate exceeded 40 percent in the most recent three-year period.

Degree-granting institutions All postsecondary institutions Number of institutions with a default rate of 30% or more in 2007 and 2006 41 100 Number that are for-profit 34 93 * Degree-granting institutions only Note: The federal rule allows for appeals on various grounds, allowing some colleges with high rates to avoid losing eligibility for federal dollars. Colleges with fewer than 30 borrowers in one year are subject to separate provisions under the rule and so are not included in this analysis.
