I have no issue in general with the lending to students. The only problem is, these kids are fairly irrational. If they were making rational decisions, they would choose not to get a huge loan for a degree that has no value in the marketplace. Obviously, the empirical evidence does not provide much evidence of said rationality.
I don't disagree with you that easy lending has reduced school accountability, but this is a free market. Schools offer a product, banks lend, and students borrow and purchase the product. So long as I am not subsidizing anyone's poor decisions, I'm not sure why I should try to disrupt the free market. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't have an opinion on the wisdom of these decisions. But I'm willing to grant others the freedom to make mistakes if they are willing to reciprocate! :)
