If you can't afford to repay your student loans, Yale will sue you. But Spring Arbor University, a small private school in central Michigan, has a kinder, gentler approach. If a grad cannot find a job that pays well enough, the Christian university promises to help pay off that debt, so long as the grad is working at least 30 hours a week, reports the AP. The president of Spring Arbor says that in the face of a tough job market, the school is just looking to provide "students and their families with peace of mind." This fall's freshmen will be auto-enrolled in the school's loan repayment assistance program. (More Spring Arbor University stories.)
