If it's proper, right, and just for society to provide higher education, is it also right and just for them to subsidize tuitions for expensive private schools rather than local state schools?

It depends on the society and how it is structured. Generally, no.

How do you reconcile that position with a belief that we should forgive student debt? Do you have an estimate as to how many of those dollars will have gone into the pockets of elite schools?
