Defund it all, let it crash, and then let it attract the people who want to go there for the educational experience and not just a 4-8 year pause from having to get a real life with real problems.
First, college debt is largely a function of faltering public support and legislation. Second, you can’t get tons of jobs — and wouldn’t be prepared going for them — without many degrees. Sure, not every program is perfect, but I work my butt off preparing teachers and spend tons of time researching the effectiveness. Third, The idea that you can’t have opposing views on college campuses is more political narrative than reality. The assumption that college campuses are simply bastions of one political ideology is just untrue.

The American university system is one of the institutions that has set us apart around the world historically. Abandoning them is a massive mistake.
