Despite President Barack Obama's hope to replace bank-based guaranteed student loan programs with a federal direct-lending program by next year, most colleges will continue to use the bank-based option, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Friday. A poll by Student Lending Analytics found that over half of 453 universities surveyed will continue to use the guaranteed loan program next year, while only 8 percent said they would switch to direct lending, according to The Chronicle. Some university officials expressed concern over the administrative costs of the switch to direct lending and whether universities will still be able to choose among competing lenders, The Chronicle said.
