There's a lot the government could do (and some things it already does), but unfortunately, everything can be manipulated - and if it can be manipulated, it will be manipulated. Perhaps the most effective thing would be to only give Title IV funding to programs whose students reach a minimum 'employed in the field' percentage a certain period of time after graduation. Hard to police and implement, but most directly relevant. Simpler to implement would be a reduction in the overall percentage of revenue an institution can get from Title IV programs, which would force the institutions to either reduce tuition or deliver an education valuable enough to satisfy a private-sector lender.
