Something I absolutely agree with Biden on: Joe Biden Calls For Free Public College For All

[IndyOp]

21. Something definitely does need to be done about runaway costs of higher education -

students are not receiving a better education than I did and I attended college 1983-1987 and paid about $7000 less per academic year.

Also - the pay it not going to those of us who teach and the quality of education does, in fact, depend on us.

However - many public universities are trying to do the best they can for students. State funding of student education has dropped dramatically over the past decade and the funds available are often tied to goals that don't help students - build more fancy buildings so that state senators line their construction CEO buddy's pockets and fund programs that don't need funding - special programs to assist students in the School of Business when it is already extremely well funded by alumni, etc.

I could get especially excited about funding Tech Schools if we could link it to jobs related to making the Green New Deal happen - these should be expanding, lucrative career fields in future.
