The New York Times has an article up by Ron Lieber looking at who should face the blame for student debt.

I say: Everyone is to blame for this. Cortney Munna and the mom for picking N.Y.U in the first place. Cortney going for a degree in Woman’s studies. The loan companies saying yes to the loans. The Financial aid office saying she can take on so much debt. The college itself for the sky high tuition for that degree.
