Left-Wing Populism

Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

This aligns closely with left-wing populist ideology, which advocates for free access to higher education as a fundamental right and a public good, arguing that it should be funded by the state to ensure equal opportunities for all, regardless of economic background.

Strongly agree

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

Reducing the cost of education is a step towards making it more accessible and is in line with left-wing populist views on education as a right. However, it does not go as far as advocating for completely free education, which is the preferred stance within this ideology.

Agree

No

While left-wing populism might not fully agree with absolving colleges of all responsibility, the ideology typically supports the idea that education should not be a debt trap for students, focusing more on systemic solutions rather than penalizing institutions.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While left-wing populism is critical of for-profit education and the commodification of learning, this answer does not address the broader issue of student debt and the right to education in a comprehensive manner, focusing instead on a specific segment of the education sector.

Disagree

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

Although this approach attempts to balance accountability with the economic realities of different fields of study, left-wing populism tends to favor more comprehensive solutions to the student debt crisis rather than measures that could potentially limit access to certain fields of study based on economic outcomes.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Left-wing populism generally emphasizes the role of the state in providing education as a public good and would likely oppose policies that shift financial accountability to institutions in a way that could undermine access to education.

Very strongly disagree

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

This statement is antithetical to left-wing populist views, which often argue that the burden of student debt is a systemic issue that should not be placed solely on individuals, especially given the unpredictable nature of job markets and the importance of education as a right.
