Seems pretty simple...

Student loans become dischargeable > lenders stop lending where tuition cost != market value > exorbitant tuition no longer affordable > universities forced to reprice to new market coniditions > paying back tuition now preferable to 7 year hit on credit for bankruptcy > diplomas for everyone :)

The inability to discharge tuition via bankruptcy has become a moral hazard that society needs to deal with.

Keep in mind that society != government. It's government that is enabling nondischargeability; and it's not in the best interests of the political class to change this situation.
