Strongly agree

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

Slightly agree

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

While classical liberalism supports market freedom, there is recognition that education is valuable for a free society. Decreasing the cost of education through market mechanisms rather than government intervention could be seen as a positive, albeit indirect, approach.

Slightly disagree

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

While this approach introduces a market-based solution by making liability proportional to income, it still involves a level of regulation and interference in the market that classical liberalism typically opposes. However, the market-oriented aspect of this solution might make it slightly more palatable.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Although classical liberalism is wary of for-profit entities exploiting consumers, it generally opposes broad regulatory measures that hold institutions accountable for individual financial outcomes. This answer suggests a regulatory approach that classical liberalism typically does not support, but it's slightly more favorable due to its focus on for-profit institutions.

Very strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Classical liberalism values the free market and opposes extensive government intervention in the economy, including the provision of free higher education for everyone, as it would require significant public funding and regulation.
