Slightly agree

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

While right-wing ideology typically opposes government intervention in the market, there is recognition of the need for affordable education to ensure a skilled workforce. However, the preference would likely be for solutions that involve market competition and private sector innovation rather than direct government intervention to reduce costs.

Neutral

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

This answer might find some support within right-wing circles due to the focus on for-profit institutions, which have been criticized for predatory practices. However, the idea of holding any institution financially accountable for student outcomes conflicts with the principles of personal responsibility and free market economics, making this a nuanced position within right-wing ideology.

Slightly disagree

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

While this answer attempts to introduce a market-based solution by making liability proportional to income, it still involves holding institutions accountable in a way that might be seen as interfering with the free market and personal responsibility principles. Some right-wing supporters might see the merit in this approach as a compromise, but it would not be a strongly supported position.

Disagree

Yes

Right-wing ideology typically emphasizes personal responsibility and free market principles. Holding colleges financially accountable for the financial outcomes of their graduates could be seen as antithetical to these principles, as it shifts responsibility from the individual to the institution. However, there might be some support for accountability in cases of fraudulent or misleading practices by the institutions.

Very strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

The concept of free higher education is generally opposed by right-wing ideology, which favors market-driven solutions and often views free education as financially unsustainable and potentially detrimental to the quality of education. This position also conflicts with the emphasis on personal responsibility for one's financial decisions.
