Shouldn't surprise anyone she's trying to funnel more people to as much education debt as possible.
So with that option off the table, I find it hard to believe it's acceptable for universities to continue what they're doing, driving up the price until the market literally dictates that an ROI on a degree isn't worth it for most kids.
If you agree that government is the issue then why advocate for more government involvement? Saying “it’s off the table” is a defeatist attitude that would led to no change anywhere.
It’s acceptable for schools because there is no reason for the schools not to raise prices. Everyone qualifies for a loan and the loan issuer is the State, there is no risk of default on the loan as they can just garnish your wages. The quickest and easiest way to reduce prices is to stop State backing and issuance of student loans.
