Minorities pay more for car loansLender's ParadiseBAD BEHAVIOR is not the only reason to scrutinize the federally subsidized student loan business. But it is a good place to start after reports of ethical lapses at student loan firms.

Cuomo revealed that financial aid officers at a number of prominent universities held stock in a loan company that they recommended to their students. The company's executives appear to have brokered deals, presumably intended to persuade those university officials to recommend its services. Last week, Mr. Cuomo announced that he will sue Drexel University for sharing revenue with a student loan firm it recommended. Industry groups have insisted that keeping private lenders in the student loan game enhances choice and, therefore, maximizes benefits to students.
