In theory you can do this, but keep in mind that for married filing joint returns, the student loan interest deduction begins to phase out at $130k, so even if you got your AGI down to $159k, the deduction would be minimal.

IRA deductibility - covered by employer plan
IRA
deductibility - NOT covered by employer plan
