Economic Liberalism

Strongly agree

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

Agree

No

From the perspective of economic liberalism, the responsibility for financial decisions, including taking on student loans, lies with the individual. This ideology would support the notion that individuals should bear the consequences of their financial choices, rather than institutions.

Slightly agree

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

While economic liberalism generally opposes government intervention, the focus on decreasing the cost of education could be seen as a market-friendly approach to increasing access to higher education. However, the means of achieving this goal would be crucial, as direct government intervention would be opposed.

Slightly disagree

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

While this approach attempts to introduce a market-based solution by making liability proportional to income, it still involves regulatory oversight and intervention that economic liberalism typically opposes. However, it's slightly more aligned with economic liberalism than outright financial accountability for colleges, as it considers market outcomes (expected yearly income).

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Although economic liberalism might be more amenable to holding for-profit institutions accountable due to their commercial nature, it still generally opposes government mandates on businesses. This approach would be seen as a regulatory intervention that could hinder market freedom and innovation.

Disagree

Yes

Economic liberalism emphasizes free market principles and minimal government intervention in the economy. Holding colleges financially accountable for graduates defaulting on student loans would be seen as an undue interference in the market, potentially stifling innovation and the autonomy of educational institutions.

Very strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Economic liberalism is fundamentally opposed to the idea of making higher education free for everyone, as it would require significant government intervention and funding. This ideology favors market-based solutions and minimal state involvement in the economy, including in the education sector.
