Those two things are in direct conflict. Literally every graduate would simply declare bankruptcy (Since anyone who is both a graduate and borrow would by definition be broke). You’d be a fool not to. There’s literally no downside to bankruptcy if you’re a broke 22 year old with a brand new $250k debt and a degree in anything. Your choice are: 1. everyone can get a loan regardless of wealth, but they can’t file bankruptcy 2. Let banks only give student loans to qualified applicants (i.e. rich kids with co-signing rich parents) but permit bankruptcy.
