Two questions on this:
1. Who the fuck cares what she wants? She didn’t run for office, so she has no say in how tax dollars are spent.
2. Given that she teaches at a CC, and says she will continue to do so, will she be doing it for free from now on?
Didn’t take long for her to start calling the shots, huh?
Jill Biden will back debt-free community college as student debt nears $1.7 trillion: report
Dr. Jill Biden will advocate for debt-free community college as First Lady, a source close to President-elect Joe Biden's wife told Yahoo News.www.foxnews.com
Community colleges are already so heavily subsidized it basically is free
Classes at my local one cost only a few hundred dollars a course.
It's not exactly some massive program
just how "free" ? My tuition at my state university college was fully paid by scholarship based on need
(family financial statement required) ----but WAY back then tuition FOR the year (courses limited only by available slots and time) was $400 I still had to take loans and do some part time work for the "incidentals" like books, transportation and food and underwear.
There were some students who got "FULL SCHOLARSHIPS"-----but mostly not. What does Jill mean be "FREE"?
Relative to a state school that has almost exactly the same courses you're talking about spending at maximum 1/8th or something.
In the context of education in 2020 it's basically free. I take your point. But that was again because those schools were subsidized by the state. Every time i've heard that topic brought up everyone says budgets were cut or weren't increased. Increased access to student loans. And we've got what we've got.
