They're Talking On Campus.

. . . About how best to respond to the tragedy of September 11. During the days following the hijackings and explosions, hundreds of colleges and universities across the nation held memorial services for the victims.

Campuses also raised funds for the families of the victims, stepped up security measures, and took steps to protect the more that half a million foreign students studying on U.S. campuses.

At the same time, opinions on our nation's campuses are sharply divided over what steps the nation should take now.

Professors and students at many campuses have joined the call for war against the terrorists and those countries supporting them, while more than 140 campuses held peace vigils calling for a nonviolent response to the terrorist attacks.

. . . About a directive from the U.S. Department of Education telling lenders holding federal student loans to provide financial relief from monthly loan payments to those borrowers affected by the terrorist attacks.

Borrowers who have questions should call 800-433-3243 for information.
