LA Tech, LSU, UNO make them free for in state students Shut down funding for all the rest of the state schools and i bet you can fund the education of students at these 3 universities.

My children all attended LSU with TOPS and in-state tuition.

I agree. I'm against it, but I'm not turning it down.
It actually didn't help much, because fees, room, board, etc. have increased to make up for whatever TOPS covers. Overall college costs are more with TOPS, than they were before TOPS.

Graduation requirements for schools to be eligible for the federal loan program. If your graduation rate is below a certain threshold, then you are no longer eligible.
This will lead to even more grade inflation then there already is. This is how you make degrees even LESS valuable by watering them down.
There is no legislative / policy solution to this problem. The only way you solve this problem is to eliminate the idea that you have to go to a private, four year college to have any value in life.
Parents and school academic counselors need to have honest, realistic discussions with high school students.

No loans for living expenses. Tuition and fees only. Very few people live beyond driving distance to a university, even if it's a community college. If you don't have the money, live at home or work.
You will see tuition go up 5K a semester and all students get "free" room and board.
See what I mean?
