A new suggestion which involves colleges making loans directly to their students, comes from Robert E. Wright, professor of global economy at Sioux Falls-based Augustana University.

This level of indebtedness and the associated high default rates are symptoms of the current higher education system. The government-guaranteed loan program allows colleges to increase the price tuition far in excess of the rate of inflation year after year. That's because the U.S. government can pretty much offer as many student loans as it desires, meaning that the colleges can bill students as much as they can get away with charging.
That would encourage the universities to do a few things. First, they can evaluate whether their courses are economically useful to students after graduation. It should be clear that some college programs fall short in this respect with graduates often finding it hard to secure full-time professional positions in their field of choice.
Put simply, college administrators should be able to make better credit decisions than anyone else currently doing so.
