Essentially, the federal loan program has made kids not really care about price when attending college. Add to it people saying that you'll make it all back later and people just go to college without looking at the sticker price.
The Unis then take the money and create shiny new programs and facilities. Since no one is really paying attention to costs, no one really puts a stop to it.
yep
sounds like it
The attitude might be starting to change, but economically, the easy availability of low-interest loans (often below market) is the key factor.
why is the academic community against it
And the Government puts more of those out every year.
And also anti-trades propaganda
Children of millenials will have the costs of college beaten into their heads by their parents
You can count on that
Not even our parents
Our grandparents
Because the Bennet Hypothesis would imply that the solution to skyrocketing tuition is to make college not only harder to afford, but to kill the loan programs that fund the institutions and give them lots of money for salaries and pet projects.
uhhh
Obviously, this isn't too appealing a conclusion to most academics.
<#463068752725016579> btw?
i mean i think we should encourage trade schools but make Uni more affordable
Y'know what I encourage?
im not naive enough to support FREE college
Oh, that would make things go off the wall.
Free anything devalues the item/service
People to acknowledge that school has become sorta outdated by internet.
:^)

I was making a cake for the first time the other day.
man the internet unironically taught me a whole lot more than high school did
It came out perfeclty because anything I wasn't PRECISELY sure about, I could just consult youtube really quick.
That's what education has become now.
You can look up ANY QUESTION.
Literally only passing because of internet
Education has become a means to grant status.
It's a signalling mechanism.
Wait... is something wrong? I barely saw any news about Trump today. O.O
i do think there is some value to getting a proper education though
```Literally only passing because of internet```
Look at this retard. o:
This is the first day out of a whole 2 years.
Point and laugh.
That it feels like normal news.
Oy vey at least I admit it
