If colleges are worried about diversity they can do financial aid. Many elite schools do that.

But we aren't doing poor kids any favor putting them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt for college.

Also, we have community colleges and public colleges. Tuition in my state for community college and a public school is under 30k for a full degree if you mix community and public 4 year. Motivated students could do part time school over 6-7 years while working full time.
