re: Capping graduate loans to 150k

Take gov loans up to $150, pull your weight and show you have a future, take private loans, pay back.

Simple as that.

This from UCLA. Ya know, in California

quote:

---

Several faculty members at the University of California, Los Angeles, blew the whistle to journalist Aaron Sibarium that UCLA’s medical school has been admitting students who do not reach the expected academic requirements because the students instead reach DEI requirements. Dean of Admissions Jennifer Lucero blew up on one admissions official for questioning the subpar qualifications of a black student because “we need people like this” in medical school.

One professor told Sibarium that he or she was berated by a student for asking if the student could identify a major artery in the operating room, which she could not. “Faculty are seeing a shocking decline in knowledge of medical students,” that professor warned.

That means that either jobs will go unfilled, which puts people’s lives in danger with longer waits, or that unqualified medical “professionals” pushed through med school by DEI ideologues put their patients’ lives in danger

Sorry if this has already been answered and I missed it but is the government trying to prevent private lenders from issuing graduate student loans?

Cry me a river. The US should stop backing the loans completely. Schools would have to stop growing their billion dollar endowments and charge reasonable tuition. In my lifetime the cost of college has gone up 400% and yet the inflation rate for the last 30 years is 3% or less until the Biden years. Look it up. Most years under 3%. Some under 2% and a few negative years. Absolutely no way tuition would be close to the current level if not for the US backing the loans.

Explain to me why Stanford needs 1 administrator for every single student. College bloat is insane. And don't try and tell me they really need 15000 administrators for 16000 students. That number doesn't include teachers.

This x100000

Sounds like med schools need to get tuition down to $150k to keep enrollment up, correct?

the cost of college is the problem, and limiting loans is a correct path to start getting these costs down

The school gets all the free government money.

That is my big issue with colleges now.

Some colleges get state funding through subsidies for everything from buildings, academic labs, libraries, and some salaries. Not to mention some salaries and buildings are paid though private endowments.

Yet tuition is as high as a giraffe and no one asks can we maybe do things a little differently so that costs come down for a change and the educational goal is achieved in a cost effective manner for a degree or certificate.

Also, how about making it to where total tuition income matches the cost expenditures of the college. If we have to eliminate some programs including athletics to achieve this than so be it. Colleges need to find a way to balance their own books.
