On March 16th, 2015 Senator Schumer met with the parents of a murdered college student. After the death of Lauren Tanski, her parents were left responsible for repaying her private student loan. Senator Schumer stepped in and had the loans forgiven. The Senator believes that all loans should be forgiven if a student dies before they finish repaying them. Currenlty only federal student loans are forgiven in the event of a student passing.
