Problem is students act very price-insensitive. As long as the uni has the reputation, price doesn't matter. If it would matter, unis will start to compete on price. reason students are price-insensitive is they can loan unlimited anyway, and who cares about the future if you are 18?
it will, but you won't see it.because there no direct connection/relationship. price won't go down, living standards of graduates will (forget about dropouts-that's a financial catastrophe)
You will be able to see it if there will be massive defaults on student loans and banks collapsing because of it. (or the government or whoever is on the hook).
School will be mostly free within the decade. The rise of MOOCs guarantees this http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course
Exactly right...as we saw in 2008 when TSHTF and Hopey went on television with one of his passionate teleprompter speeches about the need for more and more financing availability for "the children". i.e. we need to keep inflating tuition prices by making college financing ridiculously easy. I would love nothing more than a complete shutdown of the student loan market and THEN we could find out the "cash value". You want to talk about a market "adjustment", it would be a crash of epic proportions in many cases...
the higher education cartel will figure out a way to "monetize" it. If it were to ever become "free", the cartel would have a lobbyist group petition to make these degrees worthless (i.e. not recognized for grad school applicants, etc, etc...). You're a middle aged guy and I'm sure you've heard about the numerous things that were predicted "free" sometime in the future. Seldom do those predictions pan out.
