[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]3. Create a free option for colleges: such as making[b] all community colleges free - no questions asked[/b]. Heavily subsidize state universities based on need, but state university spending must be capped. No more fancy stadiums, gyms, theaters - they can have those things, just not extravagant ones, and etc. Students are there to learn, not to take a 4 year luxury vacation. University of Minnesota, for example, spent $60 million dollars to expand and remodel a gym.

There should be a couple of caveats:  this could encourage people to sign up for classes and not finish, etc.  But, in principle, I agree with this  [/quote]

NP. Some states have this or are moving towards this. It's not for one race but for all residents. I agree with it and convinced my very conservative Trump-voting sister and BIL that it's a good idea.[/quote]

I live in a state with free CC for all.  It works for some, but there is a lot of waste. 
Some of those who take advantage of it do so because either their parents are insistent that they do it, or because they have no other planned option.  Most of these kids don't attend class regularly and don't put in the effort needed to succeed.  We also have a volunteer mentoring program that is quite active to assist these kids when they are juniors and seniors in HS to provide guidance in work habits, study skills, career choices, etc.  Students are required to be in the mentoring program to be eligible for free CC.
It is a sad reality, but college is not the answer for all.  [/quote]
