Colleges should be required to cosign all government student loans. If the students to keep up payments, the colleges have to pay.

Agreed, they are selling a worthless product to many students and I should not have to pay for it.
That is absolutely the way to go. Of the three parts to education financing (Big Education, student, any loan source)only Big education has no skin in the game. B.E. bears no responsibility for the product they turn out but they damn sure make the student pay up front.
Fees are the end-around for actual tuition. When advertising for students, a competitive tuition number may be what gets the kid in the door. Since there are no controls on fees, they can be used to make up any loss incurred because of a low tuition number.
