> Government backed student loads for anybody who wants them has inflated the cost of college in the United States.
I heard it the first time. Do you have anything new to add, any evidence, or any explanation of how your theory actually works, given that total public funding has declined?
Is it possible you’re assigning causation where there is only correllation? Tuition hikes certainly correllate with loan programs that were put in place to compensate for state budget cuts, I can see how easy it is to assign blame to loan programs, but isn’t tuition going up when state financing is cut the simpler explanation?
> With all that free money, where is the motivation for schools to improve?
Norway’s higher education system is ranked higher than the US, and is free for all citizens. So you tell me.
It’s your assumption that public funding leads to stagnation, an assumption that requires ignoring contradictory evidence in order to hang on to.
Government backed student loans for anybody who wants them has inflated the cost of college in the United States.
Your plan I refer to, is when you said the government could entirely pay college costs for every willing student.
With all that free money, where is the motivation for schools to improve?
