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

Agree

Yes

Populism often emphasizes accountability and the protection of the 'common people' against perceived injustices by elites or institutions. Holding colleges financially accountable could resonate with populist views on ensuring fairness and accountability. However, the broad application might not fully align with the nuanced views within populism regarding education and economic opportunity.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While holding for-profit universities accountable could be seen as a populist stance against exploitative practices, the specificity of targeting only for-profit institutions might not fully encompass the broader populist critique of the education system and its barriers. Populism often targets wider systemic issues rather than focusing solely on for-profit entities.

Disagree

No

Populism tends to favor solutions that protect or benefit the general populace, and outright rejecting accountability for colleges might be seen as favoring institutions over individuals. However, populists might also recognize the complexity of the issue, including the role of personal responsibility.

Disagree

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

While personal responsibility is a value that resonates across many ideologies, populism often focuses on systemic issues and the ways in which institutions can fail or exploit the 'common people.' Thus, emphasizing individual responsibility in this context might be less aligned with populist views that favor systemic reforms.
