Universities have relied on expert knowledge being scarce, but AI is changing that. Tuition now needs to focus on human skills that machines still struggle to copy.
My understanding was that the law was changed in the US so student loans couldn’t be wiped by bankruptcy, and the government then increased how much it could loan due to the security. Tuitions rose to meet the new supply.
It is still possible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy in the US. It does require meeting a more stringent test than other unsecured debt for loans that covered tuition specifically, but the large majority of people who seek relief through bankruptcy get it. Last I looked it was more than 90% get at least some relief.
