Precisely.
Sure, there are more people going into debt, but there is also a higher number of successful, skilled people for the workforce that understand how to get rid of said debt.

but anyway if a school is accredited than there is some manner of controlling them already all that has to be done is to enforce the accreditation standards to an acceptable level, such as whats already done with graduation rates.

Unless you have invested in "Texas tomorrow" fund or "EE Bonds", or just filthy rich (parents that is). You will have to procure money for college. I am not talking about worthless correspondence degree mills. A honest to God University. (UNT,UT,A&M etc....) There are a lot of good schools in Texas. College is expensive. Nothing wrong with borrowing funds for this.
I say do what it takes to get the skin on the wall. You will never regret it. In addition, you will out earn your peers without a degree exponentially every year. Being a Phoenix is not what I am talking about.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

Problem is, people who really shouldn't go to college, go. That inflates demand because you have so many warm bodies that have been convinced that you graduate school and then go to college despite they suck at school and will be working in jobs that wont' require it.
Supply and demand.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

Side note: After searching Yale's divinity school website, I can find no accreditation information on that particular school.
