University of Utah Introduces Income-Share Experiment - Paul Fain, Inside Higher Ed

The University of Utah today announced the creation of an experimental program to offer some students the option of an income-share agreement. So-called ISAs, which tap portions of postgraduate income to reduce college tuition fees, have generated support from policy makers and others as a promising way to help pay for college. Critics, however, call the agreements new forms of potentially problematic private loans. Utah appears to be the second large public university to offer an ISA, having followed Purdue University's lead. A small but growing number of private colleges also offer the agreements. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2019/01/23/university-utah-introduces-income-share-experiment
