Socialism

Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

This aligns closely with socialist principles, which advocate for free access to education as a fundamental right. The belief is that education should be funded by the state and accessible to all, regardless of financial status, to promote equality and societal advancement.

Strongly agree

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

While not as strongly aligned with socialist ideals as making higher education free, focusing on decreasing the cost of education is a step towards reducing barriers to access. It reflects a concern for social equity and the importance of education for all, which are key components of socialist thought.

Agree

No

From a socialist perspective, the responsibility for education and its outcomes should not be placed on individual institutions in a way that could penalize them for factors beyond their control, such as economic conditions or job market fluctuations. Instead, the focus should be on systemic solutions to support both education and students.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

This answer might find some support in socialist thought due to the critique of for-profit education as commodifying a public good. However, the focus on for-profit institutions only partially addresses the broader socialist goal of free and accessible 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 making liability proportional to expected income attempts to address fairness, it still operates within a framework that commodifies education and places undue emphasis on financial outcomes, which is at odds with socialist values that prioritize education's role in personal development and societal benefit.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Socialism generally emphasizes the role of the state in ensuring access to education as a right, rather than treating education as a market commodity. Holding colleges financially accountable for the income of their graduates shifts the focus towards education as an investment with expected returns, which contradicts socialist principles of education serving societal needs over market demands.

Very strongly disagree

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

This statement strongly disagrees with socialist ideology, which typically argues against placing the burden of financial outcomes solely on individuals, especially in contexts like education, where the state is seen as having a significant role in ensuring equitable access and support.
