> No, there is actually cancelling debt. There is also forcing someone else to pay, but that’s a different thing.

How are these different things?

-Money was disbursed to the university. That money came from somewhere!

-If the loan gets canceled and the student does not pay it back, those who contributed the disbursed the money are the ones being forced to pay.

I think the difference is this: If you owe me money, I can cancel your debt. But if I won't cancel it, you could also end the debt by forcing dragonwriter to pay me. That's different because there's a third party involved.
