Well Friday the Federal Reserve decided it was going to open the Term-auction facility to student lenders - effectively offering to trade any student loan "paper" for treasuries that could be counted as reserves for the issuance of new loans. Its similar to what the federal reserve is doing for investment banks lately, and its intended to free up whatever liquidity is needed to keep availability of new loans.

Then I read again today that Congress is still pushing forward with the bailout legislation! Obviously, this is going to get expensive quickly, but I bet the student loan companies still in the business are going to have good profits this year.
