Maybe the cap should be close to zero since the advent of loans and grants to college students was fairly swiftly followed by an incredible increase in the price of a secondary education in the United States.
And some other countries, the secondary education is free, but there is a test. My understanding of politics in the United States is that would never fly.
- Simulacra 3y agoVery good point. The size of University bureaucracy has exploded. Someone suggested that when students don't pay back their loans, the universities should be on the hook. This could work but it might make higher education out of reach but for only the best, or limit majors to only those with "viable" career earnings. Whatever that would mean..

- readthenotes1 3y agoIf it were general policy, the minimum gpa these days would be 3.5 because anything different would go against the misguided "all students college-bound" dogma.
