There’s been lots of talk about debt-free college on the national level. This is truly an exciting time. Check out the following articles:

“Many community college advocates have said that although Obama’s free community college proposal, announced in January, stands a slim chance of passing the current Congress, it has brought unprecedented levels of attention to community colleges and their funding. Shifting the conversation so that, as the Obama administration describes it, two years of postsecondary education are come to be viewed as universal as high school, has been a victory in itself, many proponents of the plan have said.”

“And, in an exciting development, Democrats in the House and Senate – including Senators Elizabeth Warren, Brian Schatz and Chuck Schumer, as well as Reps. Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, Eric Swalwell and Katherine Clark – have introduced matching resolutions which would guarantee that all students who attend public colleges and universities have access to debt-free college educations.”

“Asked about how Clinton would appeal to younger voters, Mook said, 'What voters are looking for in this election is someone who’s going to be a champion for everyday people. For young people that’s debt-free college, that’s finding that job after you graduate.’”

Have you seen the new report from Demos – Pulling Up the Higher-Ed Ladder: Myth and Reality in the Crisis of College Affordability. It looks into the impact of state disinvestment on tuition in public higher ed institutions.

The figure “illustrates a disturbing fact: public higher education in this country no longer exists. Because more than half of core educational expenses at “public” 4-year universities are now funded through tuition, a private source of capital, they have effectively become subsidized private institutions.”
