NextStudent Private Loans Can Supplement Educational Financial Aid Plans
As parents and students finalize their educational budgets for the upcoming school year, they may be faced with a budget that doesn't stretch quite far enough.

NextStudent Private Student Loans are credit-based student loans that can be used for tuition, school fees and other education-related expenses. And NextStudent Private Student Loans aren't just for the college-bound.
Presidential search at MU complicated by other departures
As the search for a new University of Missouri president forges ahead, some high-ranking academic leaders aren't waiting around to meet the new boss. Since mid-June, three top university officials have decided to take jobs elsewhere. The first to leave was economic development guru John Gardner, who quickly followed former Missouri system President Elson Floyd to Washington State University. Next came Jim Coleman, a vice chancellor for research at the Columbia campus. Coleman departs in September for a job as vice provost of research at Rice University, a Houston private school with one of the largest endowments in the country. And just last week, Steve Lehmkuhle — another former Floyd lieutenant — was named as the first chancellor at the University of Minnesota-Rochester.
One Spitzer Aide, at Least, Gets Off Easy
One interesting thing about today's announcement about the reassigment of a scandal-tarred top aide to Eliot Spitzer is that at the end of the day, it's not so bad: the aide, William Howard, will still have a six-figure job as Coordinator of the Preparedness and Response at the State Office of Homeland Security. Howard, who was Spitzer's assistant Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security, will start in his new job on Monday. The apparently good news for Howard may not be such good news for another Spitzer aide, Darren Dopp. According to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's report on the ethics scandal, in which the governor's aides improperly requested information on Joe Bruno's travel schedule from the state police, “Howard testified that he asked for the scheduling information at Dopp's request." .

Don't overlook credit unions
Consumers have a plethora of borrowing and saving options, from traditional banks to online-only banks to credit unions and investment brokerages. And while Internet-only banks can offer the most competitive rates for saving and borrowing, credit unions offer a mix of favorable rates and personal service. They're often a good alternative to traditional banks, which still dominate the market. Credit unions are affiliated groups of people who pool their money and lend it to each other. They don't have divided loyalties; they're not trying to serve a customer at the same time as boosting profits and the stock price for shareholders. .
