That’s the conclusion you get from this Inside Higher Ed story, reporting on a poll showing that a majority of Americans favor college-debt relief but think it’s more important for Biden to focus on lowering the cost of college.
The trouble is, of course, that the president has no legal authority over college costs. Nor does the Department of Education. Nor does Congress. Unfortunately, many Americans have been led to believe that the president is supposed to have kinglike powers to command that good things happen.
Biden himself seems to think so.
