@wsjfreeexpression: Degree programs that don’t equip graduates with an increased earning potential could soon lose access to federal student loan dollars.

Wait but don’t clown colleges have pretty decent ROI? At least “clown” is a real job.

All degrees are good degrees. The dissemination of knowledge and study of anything is good for humanity. Profitability =\= good

Who gets to make that determination? some Fortune 500 CEOs have a theatre degree? It’s not the degree - it’s what you do with it.

it seems like this is a systemic for profit college model issue and NOT the student loan debt itself. Maybe dont support legislation that have consequences down the line to a public univeristy?
