I think you're talking about debt restructuring on a massive scale rather than untargeted "UBI" "grants". The problem is universities are for-profit factories motivated by monetary extraction to squeeze their customers for every dime they don't have in the future. Until students stop paying insane amounts of money they don't have like a credit card and HR departments don't absolutely "require" a college degree for decent jobs, universities will keep finding ways of spending money on lavish buildings ever year or two and keep raising the prices.
