Slightly agree

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

This answer suggests a systemic approach to reducing the financial burden of education, which could be seen as enhancing individuals' ability to make free choices by lowering barriers to education. However, it does not directly address the principle of personal responsibility for financial outcomes, which is central to Self Determination.

Slightly disagree

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

While this answer introduces a nuanced approach by making liability proportional to income, it still places some responsibility on colleges for the financial outcomes of their graduates. This could be seen as partially conflicting with the Self Determination principle of individual responsibility. However, it acknowledges the reality of differing economic values of degrees, which might be seen as a form of providing informed choices to students.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While this answer does hold some entities accountable, it specifically targets for-profit universities, suggesting a nuanced view that recognizes the potential for exploitation in for-profit education. This could be seen as partially aligning with Self Determination by protecting individuals' rights to make informed choices, but it also introduces an element of external accountability that might be seen as limiting personal responsibility.

Disagree

Yes

The ideology of Self Determination emphasizes individual responsibility and the ability of individuals to make choices that shape their own lives. Holding colleges financially accountable for the income outcomes of their graduates could be seen as undermining personal responsibility, suggesting a negative score. However, the score is not at the extreme end because the ideology might also recognize the role of institutions in providing accurate information and valuable education.

Strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Making higher education free for everyone shifts the responsibility from the individual to the state or collective, which is somewhat contrary to the principles of Self Determination that emphasize personal responsibility and the freedom to make one's own choices, including the financial implications of those choices.
