Ever wonder where the profits from student loans go? John Greer knows. Greer was appointed to the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority (MOHELA) board by Gov. Mel Carnahan in 1993. During his 13 years on the MOHELA board, millions of dollars in student loan assets were spent on expensive real estate, sweetheart pension plans, cars, luxury resorts, 12-week vacation packages, excessive bonuses and expensive entertainment that included - among other things - a magic show.
The party was over when Gov. Matt Blunt announced his plan to reinvest some of MOHELA's assets in Missouri colleges and universities, a move that eventually helped expose the mismanagement of the loan agency and lack of oversight by Greer and others. But now Greer is attempting to put on a magic show of his own with c...

Editor, the Tribune: In March 2006, I began service on the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority board.
MOHELA is staffed by competent, caring people. My friends with MOHELA loans say they are impressed by the way they are treated. The board's members are simply Missouri residents. This board is the finest group with whom I have had the privilege to work. We work to be open and honest.

*Economic Injustice: Whether in prosperity or economic decline, Black people still experience twice the unemployment rate as Whites, according to reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to NNPA columnist Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, African-Americans' economic standing is only 57 percent of mainstream America. And because more than 50 percent of Black mortgage holders received sub-prime loans compared with only 18 percent of Whites, the current sub-prime mortgage meltdown has a disproportionately negative affect on AfricanAmerican homeowners. An Afro-American newspaper story by Zenitha Prince, headlined "Black Middle Class in Crisis", quotes a report by United for a Fair Economy saying of the sub-prime loan crisis, "Black/Afncan-American bo...
