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

Agree

No

From a market fundamentalism perspective, individuals are responsible for their choices, including their educational investments. This view holds that the market, not colleges, should determine the value of degrees, and students should bear the consequences of their decisions.

Neutral

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

While decreasing the cost of education could be seen as beneficial for market access, market fundamentalism does not necessarily advocate for specific measures to reduce education costs, especially if such measures involve government intervention.

Slightly disagree

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

While this answer introduces a market-based mechanism (liability proportional to income), it still involves holding colleges accountable in a way that could be seen as interfering with market forces. Market fundamentalism typically opposes such interventions, although this approach does acknowledge market principles.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Although market fundamentalism might be more amenable to holding for-profit universities accountable due to their explicit commercial nature, it generally opposes broad regulatory measures that interfere with market operations, preferring market forces to dictate outcomes.

Disagree

Yes

Market fundamentalism emphasizes minimal government intervention in markets, suggesting that colleges should not be held financially accountable for graduates' loan defaults. This ideology believes in the efficiency of free markets to allocate resources and opportunities, including education and employment.

Very strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Market fundamentalism strongly opposes the idea of free higher education for everyone, as it goes against the principles of minimal government intervention and the belief in the market's ability to efficiently allocate resources, including education.
