Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Eco-socialism, with its emphasis on both social justice and environmental sustainability, strongly supports the idea of free higher education for everyone. This aligns with its principles of ensuring equal opportunities for all and reducing social inequalities.

Strongly agree

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

While eco-socialists would ideally prefer free education, they would also likely support efforts to decrease the cost of education as a step towards making it more accessible and reducing the financial burden on students, in line with their goals of social equity and sustainability.

Agree

No

Eco-socialists would lean towards not holding colleges financially accountable, as they generally view education as a right and would likely attribute the issue of loan default to broader economic systems and inequalities rather than the failure of individual institutions.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Eco-socialism might see some merit in holding for-profit universities accountable due to their critique of capitalism and profit-driven motives in education. However, this approach does not address the broader eco-socialist goal of free or significantly more affordable education for all, regardless of the institution's profit status.

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While eco-socialism advocates for fairness and might see the logic in making liability proportional, it also strongly supports the idea of free or heavily subsidized education. This answer implies a continuation of a system where students must bear financial burdens for education, which is contrary to eco-socialist principles.

Very strongly disagree

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

This answer places the responsibility of managing financial outcomes solely on students, which contradicts eco-socialist views on education as a public good and the need for systemic support for individuals. Eco-socialism would more likely advocate for structural changes to alleviate student debt.
