This is a big one. It will essentially make each student a liability instead of investment. If they think you are too much risk (low income, “wrong color”, etc.) then all of a sudden the school becomes a lot more upper income and white, purely by “chance”.
Which would make art school a rich person’s sanctuary and universities no longer institutions of learning but job training. Which would be entirely in line with neoliberalism, why would corporations want to shoulder the cost of training their own employees?
If the study of culture and the humanities is paywalled then cultures and the humanities will all suffer for it.
Rich people can’t make good art. It’s not possible. They aren’t coming from a relatable position. When I say I’m broke as a working man, that is an entirely different things than some shareholder saying it. I mean I don’t know how I’m going to eat, they mean they don’t have physical cash. The conditions the majority of us live under come with inherent risk and danger, risk and dangers that are removed from the opulent, that’s why they’re seen as out of touch.
A world of rich people cosplaying as artists is a world that only produces motivational posters and corporate desktop backgrounds. Just nuke us already, ffs.
Colleges will care more about repayment, only giving loans to those with stellar credit, and reducing the number of admissions.

This country, in general, does not treat students as an investment, regardless.
This country treats students as cash cows!
Completely coincidental how this is being proposed after affirmative action was shitcanned
