I actually agree with Alex for the most part, but I do think colleges are neglecting a huge chunk of the market, and those with a foothold in that market will start to eat them. They have gilding they can print money with, though.

Which do you think is the biggest threat to the bottom 50% of colleges in the US? Deregulation of occupational licensing or increase in interest rates?

Decreasing government subsidization of bad student loans

That's basically what it is for the bottom 50% (not counting cheap-but-ok community colleges). Gov backing all student loans means they're always available regardless of return. We give billions in loans we know won't be repaid, they go directly to bad schools.

Is there a cap to tuition for colleges that want to qualify for student loans? Can I charge $500K in tuition a year?

Yeah that's the one caveat to my statement- it's totally possible that I'm just grossly underestimating the number of colleges that are essentially loan scrapers and nothing else.

No cap. But increased scrutiny happens if you get too too bad, though about 1 of 4,000 schools/yr ever really run into regulatory issues. The real competition is user acquisition of ppl dumb enough to sign away 50k/semester for a bad student loan. That's limited.

And, of course, the vast vast majority are somewhere in between. Not egregiously bad, but suboptimal. Another problem: the people taking the worst loans are the people you'd least like to attend your institution.
