dc.description.abstractIn 2017, the U.S. Department of Education released groundbreaking data showing that half of Black or African American borrowers who first entered college in the 2003-04 academic year defaulted on their student loans within 12 years.1 New federal data released this fall show that these numbers have not improved: Black or African American borrowers who started college in 2011-12, almost a decade later, have continued to face high default rates. This report suggests that the crisis among Black borrowers has persisted—even as federal policymakers created a series of loan repayment options to try to help individuals struggling with debt.en
