Your Views on Free Community College Spending Plan
President Obama proposes 60 billion dollars federal over ten years to cover 75 percent of tuition at community colleges with 20 billion more from states. Eligibility requires half time attendance, a C or better GPA, and progress toward a degree. Credits must transfer to four year schools or qualify as in high demand occupational programs. Colleges must improve outcomes with aid, advising, and flexible scheduling. Benefits include clearer career focus, earned credits toward a bachelor’s degree, and reduced debt, boosting the workforce and living standards, but risks include underprepared students and tuition inflation. The plan should grow state higher education investments and avoid misaligned funding like New York SUNY.
