Regarding discharge, the standard in bankruptcy is "undue hardship": http://www.studentloanborrowerassistance.org/bankruptcy/

(Also, "borrower" is the more usual term, rather than "lendee".)

Thanks for the reference. I'm thankfully no longer carrying student loan debt, but it's good to see that we haven't completely blocked the ability to clear these debts via bankruptcy.

(Also, agree on "borrower". It's late and I'm exhausted and all I could come up with was "lendee".)
