No, and this is an absurd question. Someone graduates and then can't be bothered paying their loan... why would anyone believe the university is liable? This seems to be valuing education only so far as it helps get a job. This is absurd.

University’s could be required to cap the amount of students who can enroll in a degree program if there is a record of students not getting work in that field.

Universities have a responsibility to align graduate numbers in each field more closely to workforce needs

Universities should be harder to attend and get in. On the job based training should be supported more. Money spent on supporting new employees in their career.

Depends on results achieved by student and commitment to education.

I think there needs to be some accountability to motivate a student but I think costs are so high that it makes it very hard for any student to get a head start in life with a student loan.
