Strongly agree

No

Given the party's emphasis on social welfare and education as a public good, it would likely oppose measures that could penalize educational institutions in a way that might restrict access to education.

Strongly agree

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

Reducing the cost of education is a goal consistent with the party's platform, as it would increase accessibility and reduce the financial burden on students, although they might prefer making education entirely free.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the Socialist Party is likely to support increased regulation of for-profit education, this approach might be seen as too narrow or not addressing the broader issue of education as a public good.

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While the idea of making liability proportional might seem fairer, the Socialist Party would likely still view any form of financial accountability for universities based on graduates' income as misaligned with their principles of education as a right.

Strongly disagree
