Today's patchwork of narrow solutionsCurrently, there is a handful of provisions that allow for tax-free debt forgiveness — albeit in a very narrow set of circumstances. First, there's the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, wherein a borrower's remaining federal loan balance will be wiped after 120 qualifying monthly payments.

Student debt that's discharged due to death or total and permanent disability of the student is also tax-free.

By Enrique Castellanos Riverasac-ranger@alamo.eduOnce kinesiology was dropped from the core curriculum in fall 2014, the program began to lose students and instructors. “Financial aid quit paying for classes that were not in the student’s core or degree plan, so we went from impacting all students from different walks of life to only kinesiology majors,” Brooks said. “We do not know what will happen after that.”The college curriculum used to require two hours of credit in kinesiology.
