Social Equality

Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Advocating for free higher education aligns closely with social equality ideologies, which argue for equal access to opportunities as a means to level the societal playing field. This approach addresses the root issue of student debt and educational accessibility.

Strongly agree

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

Focusing on decreasing the cost of education is a step towards making higher education more accessible to all, which is a core tenet of social equality. This approach is seen as a positive, systemic change that can help reduce the burden of student loans without directly penalizing institutions.

Agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While this approach targets for-profit universities, which are often criticized for contributing to the student debt crisis without providing commensurate value, it might be seen as too narrow a solution from a social equality perspective. Comprehensive reform that addresses the broader educational system might be preferred.

Slightly agree

No

While social equality advocates might not fully agree with absolving colleges of all responsibility, they would likely argue that the focus should be on systemic reforms rather than placing blame on educational institutions alone.

Slightly disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

This approach introduces a nuanced accountability that considers the economic value of degrees. However, it might still be seen as insufficient from a social equality perspective, which would prefer systemic changes to education and employment systems.

Disagree

Yes

Social Equality ideology generally emphasizes systemic change over penalizing institutions based on the outcomes of individual graduates. Holding colleges financially accountable without addressing the broader issues of education accessibility and systemic inequality might not align well with the principles of social equality.

Strongly disagree

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

Placing the responsibility solely on students does not align with social equality principles, which emphasize the role of societal structures in shaping individual outcomes. This perspective might be seen as ignoring the systemic barriers that can affect a student's financial and professional success.
