Disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the Green Party is critical of for-profit education for prioritizing profit over quality education, their broader educational policies focus more on systemic changes to funding and accessibility rather than punitive measures against specific types of institutions.

Disagree

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

While the Green Party supports equitable financial structures, making liability proportional to expected income could inadvertently penalize degrees in fields that are socially valuable but not necessarily high-earning, which goes against their principles of valuing all contributions to society.

Strongly disagree

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

This stance places the burden of financial management and outcome solely on students, which contradicts the Green Party's advocacy for supportive and inclusive social policies that reduce individual burdens.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Green Party typically supports policies that reduce financial burdens on individuals, especially in education, and would likely view holding universities financially accountable for student loan defaults as counterproductive to making education accessible.
