<p>I have a much simpler solution that would eliminate the need for the federal gov’t to spend time, energy & taxpayer money to monitor colleges: Make the colleges co-sign the student loans, instead of the parents. </p>
<p>Then you’d see colleges:
- try harder to keep student borrowers on track to graduate
- try harder to keep costs down
- steer student borrowers away from unemployable fluff majors. </p>
<p>Sure, you’re about to argue whether it Is it fair to steer poorer students from Gender Studies or Aboriginal Studies. You should be pragmatically asking: can poorer students really afford to leave college with a degree in Gender Studies or in Aboriginal Studies?</p>
<p>Right now for colleges, it’s HEADS I win/ TAILS you lose. – kinda like investment bankers who make money off their clients no matter what happens to their clients’ money.</p>
