Anarchism

Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Anarchism advocates for the abolition of hierarchies and inequalities, including those perpetuated by the capitalist system. Free higher education for everyone aligns with anarchist principles of mutual aid, equality, and the belief that education is a right, not a privilege.

Strongly agree

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

While not as radical as advocating for completely free education, focusing on decreasing the cost of education aligns with anarchist ideals of making education more accessible and dismantling the capitalist structures that commodify education.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Although targeting for-profit universities aligns with anarchist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of education, it does not fully address the broader anarchist goal of free and accessible education for all, regardless of the institution's profit status.

Disagree

No

While anarchism criticizes the current educational and financial systems, simply absolving colleges of responsibility without addressing the broader societal and economic structures that lead to student debt is not a comprehensive solution.

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

This approach still operates within a capitalist framework that anarchists critique, focusing on financial accountability rather than dismantling the structures that make such measures necessary.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Anarchism generally opposes systems that perpetuate financial inequality and debt bondage, but holding colleges financially accountable in this manner does not align with addressing the root causes of these issues, such as the commodification of education and the capitalist system itself.

Very strongly disagree

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

Anarchism strongly opposes individualizing systemic problems. This perspective reinforces capitalist and neoliberal ideologies that anarchists argue against, by placing the burden of systemic financial exploitation on individuals rather than on the structures that perpetuate inequality.
