	Description:		At some point in 2017 (or ’16…or ’15) you might have heard about the “student loan crisis” in the news. While there’s some slight debate over whether or not it’s a crisis, the fact is that U.S. student debt has reached an all time-high of 1.4 trillion dollars, distributed across 44 million borrowers nationwide. And as many of these borrowers are struggling to pay years, even decades later, it has become common knowledge that there’s a problem. So what’s the cause behind these student debt problems? And how can we solve them? Over the past year, we’ve interviewed students, graduates, university presidents, financial aid administrators, employers, philanthropists, and alternative college providers about this 1.4 trillion dollar question. In this podcast episode, EdTech Times CEO Hester Tinti-Kane and GM Hannah Nyren go over the highlights of the series, and try to find the answer to the question that has plagued us all for decades: how do we fix the cost of higher ed?
