This, more than anything, is why we need student loan forgiveness. The elected officials that were supposed to be supervising universities were asleep at the wheel, and the last two generations have had no option to get affordable education at the same quality of pre-1990 university. It’s great that some states are cutting university DEI programs, but why only deal with a tiny part of the problem? We need more professors and academic staff, not what we’ve frittered away loan money on to bump our US News rankings.
- eru 2y ago> This, more than anything, is why we need student loan forgiveness. What? That's crazy! By all means, give money to poor people, please. They'll need it. Don't instead select the recipients of government largesse by 'who was middle-class (or better) enough to go to university, _and_ hasn't paid of their loans, yet?' --- If you want to fiddle with student loans, I would suggest making any future loans dischargeable in bankruptcy (and removing all government guarantees for these loans).
