I voted for this.
Interesting and potentially effective way to stop funding leftist havens on campuses.

Can we just make all the degrees more affordable, please?

No way it would get through this Congress, much less so a Democrat Congress coming in January.

Please, no common sense solutions.

A bank won't give me 100k to buy a Honda civic, why are the Feds giving 100k for historical lesbian dance theory or whatever the frick colleges have available now?
You can pay for that shite yourself.

I suspect this would help in affordable degrees across the board. If you gut the bloat and massive amount of money injected into college systems through bullshite liberal degrees, the rest of the degrees will get cheaper.

Our government is not actually trying to help anyone, they just want to make sure they get their money back

Eliminate federal student loans.

Or the opposite will happen. If universities lose enrollment because these degrees aren't backed by government guaranteed loans then they might need to raise tuition across the board.

100% agree with this. That's the only thing that will drive down tuition significantly.

The next step is to limit overall loan size. Colleges have this thing where they overbuild to attract students with extremely nice and expensive stuff, raise tuition to cover the cost, then the gov't guaranteed loans come in and finance the nice stuff.
If Trump came in tomorrow and said "nobody will ever borrow more than $40,000 total in their life for college", you would ahve a few weeks of people freaking out and then colleges would figure out how to make the numbers work. No more golf sims, lap pools, etc...
The college education is the single item that has most outpaced inflation in history.

What about grants? Can we do away with that 60 year old socialist policy, too?

Because studies show that 99% of Americans don't know the basics of historical lesbian dance theory. Do you want us to remain ignorant?

Getting rid of student aid, including some loans, would do exactly this. The federal government needs to get completely out of the student loan business and let private banks and credit unions lend students/parents money...like before.

What drove up costs was voting in the communist idiot Obama. I saw it first hand with my kids. Saw how tuition was fairly stable pre-obama created FAFSA loans and post-Obama created FAFSA loans tuition jumped and the began increasing much faster. Scumbag university administrators saw that as free money. I know A&M had a building boom that began right after. F*** obama!!

I have mixed feelings on this one. I have a BA in English. I'm going to stand up for my degree program and say English is a solid pathway to career options in legal, medical, research, communication depts.
Some of the 'useless' degrees are useful. The dividing line is the people who want to work vs. the people who want to sit there and complain about everything....their student loan balances, the job market, Trump, etc.

This, if constitutional/upheld, should help with education costs. Less students will be able to afford the meaningless degrees which should result in drastic cuts to those departments. Doesn’t entirely fix the problem, but the trickle-down effects should be better for costs.

There are alot of useful degrees that don’t pay well either. We going to discourage people from getting zoology and forestry degrees? What about any of the education degrees? We just not going to have teachers anymore?
