Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Trotskyism would strongly agree with the idea of free higher education for everyone, as it aligns with the Marxist principle of removing barriers to education and ensuring it is accessible to all, regardless of economic background.

Strongly agree

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

While Trotskyism would support the idea of decreasing the cost of education as a step towards making it more accessible, it would likely view this as an interim measure rather than a final solution, preferring the abolition of tuition fees altogether.

Agree

No

While Trotskyism would emphasize systemic change over blaming educational institutions, it might not fully support absolving colleges of all responsibility without also advocating for broader educational and economic reforms.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Trotskyism might see some merit in holding for-profit universities accountable due to their explicit role in commodifying education, but it would likely argue that this does not go far enough in addressing the root causes of educational inequality within a capitalist system.

Disagree

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

Trotskyism would likely view the proposal to make liability proportional to the expected income of the degree as an attempt to commodify education further, which contradicts the ideology's principles of education as a right and not a product.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Trotskyism, with its roots in Marxist theory, would likely oppose the idea of holding colleges financially accountable for the economic outcomes of their graduates, as it places the burden of systemic economic issues on educational institutions rather than addressing the broader capitalist system that Trotskyists critique.

Very strongly disagree

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

Trotskyism strongly disagrees with the notion that individuals alone are responsible for their financial outcomes within a capitalist system, as it overlooks the systemic inequalities and barriers that can affect one's economic mobility.
