No, and no. But it seems silly to post paywalled articles on a site that is centered around the audience reading and discussing the articles posted. I have no problem with WSJ charging for their articles. I'm saying that HN shouldn't allow paywalled articles because only 2% of the readers here can actually see beyond the first sentence in the article.
The worst part is that this isn't even some kind of breaking news story which only the WSJ has access to - it is just an article describing a trend which has been around for a while. If one wanted, one could easily find other free sources to post, which cover the topic in an equivalent manner(I assume) - for example, from 2016: https://www.uncf.org/news/hbcu-students-are-burdened-by-loan-debt-policy-reforms-can-address-their-fi https://www.uncf.org/news/hbcu-students-are-burdened-by-loan...
