You could try shorting APOL (owner of University of Phoenix), DV (DeVry) and similar stocks of private education companies, although a lot of them are already down substantially from ~2009 highs.

Student loan ABS are harder to short unless you're an institutional investor or hedge fund (in which case you wouldn't be asking ;), but if things get nasty again in the financial markets people tend to pile into treasuries and USD as relative safe havens.
