Question
Should university be free?
Position1 of 4

No, University fees should remain the same

This position holds that university fees should remain as they are. It argues that free degrees would flood an already saturated graduate market and devalue the credential, that university is a costly premium product its beneficiary should pay for, and that it is a privilege, not a universal right.
