Should universities be held financially accountable if graduates, with degrees leading to lower income jobs, default on their student loans?

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

No

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

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

Yes, but more liability for lower income degrees and minimal to no liability for high income degrees

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

yes, university should explain the financial viability of degrees and all students need to go to financial literacy course before taking on debt

No, the students should be held responsible for their own finances but also should have an optional class to help with financial responsibility

No, college should be free and publicly funded.

Yes, students who are alumni should immediately offered a position at said university. Allowing them to work and pay their student loans.

No, student should be held accountable for choosing a costly course that he is unable to pay. Don't buy thing that you cannot pay for.

Yes, the academic industrial complex that robs young adults of millions of dollars each year must be held accountable for the damage they have done.

We need to focus on decreasing cost of education. But if a person takes out a loan, they are responsible for it. We need to get back to personal responsibility in this country.

Student loans should not be used the way they are. They should not be held over people even if they go bankrupt. The student loan fiasco is poorly worked.

No, we should make student loan debt more like credit card debt where the debts can be dismissed, defaulted upon, and unable to garnish the debtor’s wages.

Depends, if its a few students, no the families are taken account. But if practically the ENTIRE SCHOOL is having the problem, that's the company's fault.

I believe that higher education is fairly overpriced, but I also believe that it is the student's responsibility and decision to work a job with lower income.

I'm mostly against lower incomes jobs for whose in student debt; but make it where if someone violated debt law.

Our whole education system needs to be rebuilt with career training in mind and life skills in mind. Specializing classes to students interests after basic skills are learned through 8th grade. For all education students should be taught based on their learning styles and abilities.

No but schools should have to post 1, 5, and 10 year incomes for each major that they offer so kids don't major in something useless.

Yes, while it is the students responsibility to manage their financial outcome, it is the colleges responsibility and financing companies to only give out loans to people who are able to pay them back.

No, however, A much bigger effort should be made to help potential students understand what they are committing to.
Also, the top 10% of qualified USA students should be educated for free.
Interest rates should be proportional to their intelligence.

No.Collage students should be held accountable for picking useless majors that they can't use in the real world.

Yes, but we should move away from the current student loan system in favor of a system that bases repayment of loans as a percentage of earned income after graduates earn their degree

No, companies with excess interest rates who are aware well in advance of someone will more than likely default should be held at financially responsible.

No, but we need to restrict people to go onto top universities by their intelligence and abolish stoned debt

Increase funding for need based grants from the federal government, but require loans to not provide more than 50% of student expenses.

No. Colleges should be mandated to publish the median salary of graduates from each program to give incoming students the knowledge they need to choose wisely.

I say no, but it's a combination of students responsibly managing their own finances, plus decreasing the cost of education. But ALSO making sure schools do away with unmarketable degrees and classes and properly equip students to enter the workforce.

The Answer depends on the College, but we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education until it's free because higher education should be free for everyone

I feel like the students should be held accountable and pay their student loans but if they are going to lower-income jobs then I feel there should be more leeway with paying it because they will be making less money.

No, make the student loan repayment adjustable amounts to whatever the person is comfortable with with a minimum of $50 a month.

No, but colleges should be taxed based on the % of students that require loans to fund a loan forgiveness program. Colleges should also charge tuition and interest rates weighted for expected salary outcomes of specific degree programs.

Yes, student loans should be made directly from the universities themselves and all financial risks of repayment should be held by the Universities.

If the student can prove he or she was actually misled by the academic institution, the burden of the debt should be transferred to that institution (not the public at large).

It should depend on how much time the person spent studying, and make it a lower cost depending on the degree chosen

No it is the student's responsibility to manage their financial outcome as well as we should focus on decreasing the cost of education

No, but collages should increase education on the availability and wage of jobs with corresponding degrees.

Yes, but treat it as a civil lawsuit. Hold a trial to see if it's more the college's fault ot the student's.

No it is the students responsibility to manage financial outcome but decrease the cost of education to make it more affordable for people to get a higher education if they choose.

colleges should be irrelevant unless you are going into a very rigorous and academic job that cannot afford failures in their operation. Get rid of degrees in studies that are unimportant and have no meaning.

No, even though it is the student's responsibility to manage their finances, we should be focusing on lowering the cost of college education.

No, but colleges should make students more aware of the likelihood of getting a job in the career field of a degree and the average starting salary of those in that field

Yes, student loans should be backed by the school the student attends, with interest rates and terms depending on the future potential value of the degree, and if the program is completed.

Yes, and the colleges should explain the financial viability of degrees, and all students need to go to financial literacy course before taking on debt.

No, focus on lowering the cost of education. It is also the responsibility of the student to manage their financial outcome.

Yes, but only in cases where a college's practices were misleading, deceptive, or otherwise predatory

No, it is the student responsibility to to manage their finances. We should be focusing on lowering the cost of college education.

Indifferent, Whilst Collages should be held accountable for misrepresentation, it should be the Students choices that play a role as well.
