Siedle: Recently there have been a number of lawsuits filed against 401k plan sponsors alleging excessive fees and a failure on the part of sponsors to monitor and disclose fees.
The president of Birkbeck, University of London, says higher fees and a failure to communicate new rights to government loans for part-time students has led to a 40% drop in England.
But it faces a challenging and uncertain future, largely, Lady Bakewell says, because of the government's introduction of higher tuition fees and the failure to communicate the new loan system effectively to prospective part-time students.
