Yes, the university should be held accountable, although tertiary education should be free to all citizens and permanent residents of Australia.

 @B2SXP9Sanswered…2wks2W

No. That is something a student must be aware of. If they default on their loans, that is their fault. But, education costs should be decreased to avoid this.

 @B24STGSanswered…2mos2MO

No, it is a responsibility of a citizen to be financially educated. If they default due to their own choices, it is not the fault of the university for providing what they asked for.

 @B23FZW9answered…2mos2MO

I feel that universities should only offer degrees that are necessary to getting employment. I.e degrees that won’t be recognised by employers should be abolished as it’s wasting student’s time and money.

 @9ZL34PSanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, but degrees that don't have a chance of offering an income or meaningful impact on society like gender studies should not be eligible for student loans.

 @9S7L6LYanswered…6mos6MO

No, and higher education should be free for everyone for their first degree as long as an individual fails no more than one unit

 @9R3B9J6answered…7mos7MO

Yes, providing that the degree was priced in a way that was unfair concerning the amount of income expected from pathways from the degree not equating to how much the degree costs.
