Dr. Goldrick-Rab, thank you for holding this AMA session! I will ask you two political questions, one of which involves higher education, and one non-political question.
1) In a recent interview for the Pacific Standard, you stated that Donald Trump's higher education affordability plan (I'm using the term "higher education affordability plan" very loosely) as "...reiterating what is basically a really common myth that if we just pull back on student loans in this country, we would have lower prices.", and you also said that Trump's plan "makes no sense". While I agree with your criticism of Trump's views on student loans, I'm confused by your use of the phrase "pull back on student loans". By "pull back on student loans", were you referring to abolishing student loans entirely, abolishing federal student loan programs, or something else?
2) What are your thoughts about Katie McGinty, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Pennsylvania?
