No they did not. They threatened to simply stop offering loans for school. The only way to get them back on board was to make the loans they issue for school was to make it so such loans could survive bankruptcy.

Many banks were fine not offering loans if it meant they could not decline offering loans for specific degrees, schools or even based on the applicants grades.
