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

The UUP's general approach to personal responsibility and their centrist to centre-right political stance suggest they would be more inclined to view the management of financial outcomes as the responsibility of the individual student rather than the educational institution.

Given the UUP's centrist to centre-right stance, they are more likely to support the autonomy of educational institutions and the personal responsibility of students over implementing financial penalties on universities based on graduate outcomes. They have not strongly advocated for radical reforms in higher education finance.

Slightly agree

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

While the UUP supports measures to improve education and make it more accessible, their policies have not specifically focused on decreasing the cost of education as a primary goal. They may support initiatives that indirectly reduce costs or improve funding, but this is not a central plank of their platform.

Slightly disagree

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

While the UUP supports education and economic development, there is little evidence to suggest they would support such a specific and nuanced approach to holding universities accountable based on graduate income. Their policies generally do not align with imposing financial liabilities on educational institutions based on the earning potential of their degrees.

不同意

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

The UUP has not specifically targeted for-profit universities with policy proposals or criticism. Their educational policies tend to focus on the broader system rather than singling out specific types of institutions for punitive measures based on financial outcomes of graduates.

不同意

是的

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) traditionally supports policies that are centrist or centre-right, focusing on the union of Northern Ireland with the UK, and has not prominently advocated for policies that would hold universities financially accountable in this manner. Their policies tend to emphasize support for education but not through punitive measures against institutions.

Strongly disagree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

The UUP has not advocated for making higher education free for everyone. As a party that traditionally supports centrist to centre-right policies, they are unlikely to support such a left-leaning policy. Their focus has been more on improving the quality of education and supporting students rather than on radical funding reforms.
