Good. I've been saying this for nearly 20 years now. There should not be open ended, tax payer funded student loans for degree programs with little to chance of employment. If you want to get a Gender Studies degree, pay for it out of your own pocket. The tax payer will get much more benefit teaching youth actual job skills.

NO liberal arts programs (even History) should be subsidized. You can learn all of that stuff online for free. (or small fees for lectured courses)

Engineering stuff does benefit from mentorship and teamwork so a class setting is helpful, and it results in a career that benefits our economy. Even if Gender Studies were legitimate soft science, there's nothing at universities you can't learn on the Internet.

I disagree with that. Fine Arts is important for civilization. Scholarships but not loans.
