Good point. Then next best is limit the lending. If a uni wants to charge 50k a year then they need to find rich students who can pay cash. If they want the smartest students they need to find ways to be affordable. Only lend money for affordable universities basically. That will force efficiency, reduce admin etc.





So end subsidized student loans? Yes that would be a good policy. Not sure how you can ban people from taking out loans writ large though.
