I meant a bigger role. Think:

* extending loans directly instead of letting privatized banks make the money

* building new universities and work towards accredited alternatives (eg 10K BA)

* pushing people to existing universities via financial incentives

* establishing a max. tuition increase for private universities or risk losing any governmental funding (e.g. indirectly, no extend loans to people who attend private institutions)

* tax private uni endowments (often running in the hundreds of millions, or even billions, and mostly unused) to fund public education etc etc
