I wouldn't burn down the Universities, but I would eliminate student loans (or scale them way back), not so as to punish the colleges, but to force them to start teaching useful information. It's the middle class students are who get stuck with these loans while not learning useful skills, and then they can't pay them back. Make the colleges themselves fund financial aid, or better yet, lower their prices. Make them use their endowments. Stop paying professors who rarely teach huge salaries. This would force the universities to clean house, since these loans kids are taking out are a major source of a university's income. Make the schools pay their own way, and these radical crazy people will be gone. There is no point in the government continuing to drive students into debt for a poor or radicalized education. Cut off the money.
