Agree

No

Given the PPC's emphasis on personal responsibility and minimal government intervention, they would likely agree that universities should not be held financially accountable for graduates' loan defaults, as this could be seen as an undue burden on educational institutions.

Slightly agree

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

While the PPC advocates for reduced government spending, they might see the merit in decreasing the cost of education as a means to reduce student debt and government involvement in student loans. However, their support would likely be cautious, preferring market-based solutions over government mandates.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Although the PPC might agree with holding for-profit institutions to a higher standard due to their profit motive, their general stance against increased regulation and for free-market principles suggests they would be reluctant to support such specific financial accountability measures.

Disagree

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

While the idea of making liability proportional to income might appeal to some as a fairer system, the PPC's general stance against increased regulation and for personal responsibility suggests they would be skeptical of such a complex, government-imposed solution.

Very strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone
