How do you suggest the federal government "stop" universities from creating student debt? Who determines the fair price of an education? Do you want the government to determine that?

My organization has over 15,000 people employed, roughly 65% have a college education as you would demand of a health care organization. In my division where we do administrative work we have a 15/85 split of college degree to non-college degree among 280 or so people. 

And absolutely, if the government is going to hand money over to the universities then they can damn well set the price of tuition. Governor DeSantis is doing some very good work in this area in our state, with the intent to provide a "quality, affordable education" unfettered by "ideological activists and political organizations determining what they should learn."

So is this a state issue or a federal issue? I can tell you that good state colleges are extremely difficult to get into these days if you are in state. Back in my day, FSU was a backup school if you couldn't get in anywhere else and now it's difficult to get into. If states would mandate a certain percentage of instate applicant acceptance, that would be ideal.
