Techno-Progressivism

Strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Making higher education free for everyone aligns closely with techno-progressivism's goals of using policy to remove barriers to education, enhance human capabilities, and promote social equity. This approach would directly address the issue of student loan defaults by eliminating student debt, reflecting techno-progressive values of accessibility and empowerment through education.

Agree

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

This answer aligns somewhat with techno-progressivism by seeking a balanced approach that considers the economic realities of different fields of study. By making liability proportional to expected income, it suggests a nuanced understanding of the value of education and its relationship to the job market. This could encourage colleges to be more transparent and responsible in their program offerings, aligning with techno-progressive values of accountability and fairness.

Slightly agree

No

While techno-progressivism advocates for accountability and systemic improvements, it also recognizes the complexity of educational outcomes and the myriad factors that influence a graduate's financial situation. Completely absolving colleges of responsibility may not align perfectly with the ideology's goals for systemic reform and social justice, but it acknowledges the multifaceted nature of education and employment.

Neutral

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While techno-progressivism advocates for accountability and may support increased scrutiny of for-profit educational institutions, this answer narrowly focuses on a specific segment of the educational sector. Techno-progressivism would likely prefer a more comprehensive approach that addresses the broader educational system's role in societal advancement and individual empowerment, rather than singling out for-profit universities.

Disagree

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

Techno-progressivism emphasizes the role of societal structures in shaping individual outcomes and would likely view the burden of financial management as a shared responsibility between individuals, educational institutions, and the broader society. This answer places the responsibility solely on students, which might be seen as overlooking the systemic issues that techno-progressivism seeks to address.

Disagree

Yes

Techno-progressivism generally supports the use of technology and policy to enhance human capabilities and social conditions, often emphasizing the role of education in achieving these goals. Holding colleges financially accountable for the default on student loans could potentially discourage institutions from offering programs that are crucial for a well-rounded society but may not lead directly to high-income jobs, such as arts and humanities. This approach might conflict with the techno-progressive view that education serves broader societal benefits beyond just economic outcomes.
