The tuition rise is no where even closely explained by states providing less funding. the simplest explanation is that the near freedom of money allows many unqualified people to enter college with no hope of completing the courses and colleges are not held to any standard with regards to them actually getting the degree.
The simplest solution. Treat it like the government treats medicade and medicare. Pay a set amount of dollars per course hour determined by course. Higher rates are set based on the needs of the course and degree, meaning you are likely to have an easier time getting a loan to be a teacher than if you wanted to study art. Set maximum costs on course materials as well.
I am quite certain a very large number of colleges would come up with degree programs to fit under the rules to continue to be able to accept students with federal loans.
