Commentary: Student Debt Forgiveness Won’t Cure Higher Education’s Ills

On February 28th, the Supreme Court heard arguments on President Biden’s plan to extinguish an estimated $400 billion in student debt. Biden deserves credit for highlighting a debilitating federal program in desperate need of reform. His proposal, however, would make the problem far worse, not better. Any serious reform would force academic institutions to take some responsibility for the education they provide—and to show some responsibility to the many young Americans they induce to go deeply into debt.

  3. This would be similar to encouraging illegal immigrants. And, would lead to people taking student loans and buying cars and condos and then having taxpayers pay off the loans. When there's a scam to be had it will happen.

  4. All the while the major Universities sit on million and billion dollar endowment funds. I do not see much difference than so-called prestigious institutions handing out worthless degrees than the diploma mills.
