Abstract | Higher education took center stage during the Democratic presidential primaries, and congressional leaders in the party are calling for universal student loan forgiveness and tuition-free public college. The incoming Biden administration will thus face pressure to radically expand subsidies for higher education. Conservatives and moderates tend to reject socializing higher education or declaring a federal student-loan jubilee, which matters because--progressive pressure notwithstanding--Biden will need to work with a Congress that is balanced politically and in which radical measures are unlikely to advance. The good news is that a number of sensible measures are capable of attracting bipartisan support and improving the circumstances of college students and aspiring college students who are truly in need of more help. These measures involve: (1) Pell Grants; (2) College loans; and (3) Nontraditional higher education. (As Provided). |
