When the gov is in charge of things, there are too many vested personal interests that would argue certain unprofitable programs need more funding anyway etc... The only way these things can be assessed with certainty is when a private company is giving out the loans and they have real skin in the game.

When did Women's Studies become the Underwater Basket Weaving of the 21st century? Can we go back to a useless major that isn't derogatory?

Are you agreeing that it's a useless major, but objecting because it feels derogatory towards women?
250k for med school, sure. 100k for undergrad in women's studies - no government guarantees for you
I'm sure there's enough data already on the RoI of various programs. Seems like there should be a floor / bar based on the RoI for programs to qualify for government backed loans to students.
