   #cfhe Q: does PIF reinforce neoliberal agenda? Does it actually end rationale 4 hi ed as public good and discourage public funding 4 hi ed?

   #CFHE Is "pay it forward" simply a fee for service model? And does it only apply to lower and working families, not to rich?

   #CFHE "Pay it forward" model does not make for st debt/default. Is it a neo-liberal model that ends rationale for public funding.
