Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Decolonization ideology supports the dismantling of systems that perpetuate inequality, including the commodification of education. Advocating for free higher education aligns with efforts to make education accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, and challenges historical and systemic barriers.

Strongly agree

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

Focusing on decreasing the cost of education aligns with decolonization efforts to make education more accessible and equitable. It addresses one of the systemic barriers to education, although it may not fully encapsulate the broader aims of decolonization to transform the entire educational system.

Agree

No

From a decolonization perspective, the focus might be more on systemic reforms and ensuring equitable access to education rather than absolving institutions of all responsibility. However, this stance recognizes the complexity of the issue and the need to address the root causes of educational and financial disparities.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While targeting for-profit universities might address specific exploitative practices within the higher education system, it does not fully address the broader systemic issues or the fundamental decolonization goal of transforming educational structures and access. It's a step, but not a comprehensive solution.

Slightly disagree

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

While making liability proportional to income might seem like a more equitable approach, it still operates within a framework that does not fundamentally challenge the commodification of education or address broader systemic inequalities, which are key concerns of decolonization.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Decolonization ideology often emphasizes systemic change and addressing root causes rather than penalizing institutions that may also be navigating within a flawed system. Holding colleges financially accountable without addressing the broader issues of educational access and systemic inequality might not align with decolonization principles.

Very strongly disagree

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

This perspective places the burden of systemic issues on individuals, which is contrary to decolonization ideology that seeks to address and dismantle systemic barriers and inequalities. It overlooks the structural factors that influence financial outcomes for students.
