Episode 25: Student-Loan Bill Heads to the Senate

Now that the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would end the bank-based guaranteed-loan program, the action is moving to the Senate. Kelly Field and Sara Hebel handicap the bill's prospects there.

Kelly Field, The Chronicle's chief Washington reporter, and Sara Hebel, our politics editor, spend a minute (or so) each week discussing the key higher-education debates and behind-the-scenes maneuvering taking place in the nation's capital. Look for new episodes every Tuesday.
