Joe Biden is pushing for free pre-school and community college in America

Breh, so he just threw student loan forgiveness in the bushes

Yep. Free CC across the country.

They'll bring it back up Late 2024-Early 2025


On another note, I already have an Undergraduate BA, but I would entertain taking some extra Community College classes "if they just giving them sh!ts away". I'm probably not eligible though.

How are you not going to be eligible for free college?

Your an illegal aren't you?

Just got word from my daughter's mom that the state/federally funded pre-school she attends is free until next summer of 2022.

IDK who put the word in but them COVID funds getting put to use at least in Sacramento

Yep. Free cc though across the country.

This has been standard in NY for a minute. I’m happy the rest of the states are catching up

I think Tennesee was another state with free Juco as well.

I've known many, but am not one.

I figured maybe I wasn't eligible due to already having a 4 year BA. I never really looked into it. I don't think I can just walk into a Community College here in NYC and say I want to take free classes next semester.

That's the plan. Free CC.

You can't learn too much.

You just have to have an address in the city you attend school.

 

[frush11]

If they do this. I'm taking my asss to the local CC and get my schooling on.

 

[Robo Squirrel]

If they do thus. I'm taking my asss to the local CC and get my schooling on.

Hopefully this will get brothers out of the streets.

Biggest regret was not going to community college like I should have, could have had my associates joint and been getting my grind on in 2 years….naw I just HAD to have that college experience…..and waste 2 years worth of tuition money in the process

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

The US is a rich country. No reason for not having more subsidized daycare and education. Its not like we can't afford that shyt if we can afford two wars that accomplished literally nothing

This gave me a little hope that it might still happen.

Did The Biden Administration Just Send A Big Signal On Student Loan Cancellation?

The U.S. Department of Education announced this week that it would be hiring Toby Merrill as Deputy General Counsel. Merrill previously founded and directed the Project on Predatory Student Lending, a legal services organization that represents low-income borrowers who have been harmed by the predatory practices of for-profit schools. The Project has been involved in long-running litigation involving the Borrower Defense to Repayment program, which can provide student loan forgiveness to borrowers who were defrauded by their schools.

More notably, however, Merrill helped draft a key legal analysis arguing that the President has authority to cancel student loan debt through executive action. “Congress has granted the Secretary a more specific and unrestricted authority to create and to cancel or modify debt owed under federal student loan programs in the Higher Education Act (HEA) itself,” wrote Merrill in the memo, along with two other attorneys. “That provision empowers the Secretary to execute the broad debt cancellation plan [that Senator Elizabeth Warren] proposed.” Warren had put forth a proposal during her 2020 presidential campaign to cancel student loan debt on a mass scale.

The legal analysis pointed to a key provision in the HEA which gives the President, via the Secretary of Education, broad authority to “compromise, waive, or release” a borrower’s obligation on federal student loan debt. Other student loan borrower advocacy organizations and members of Congress have cited this analysis to support their argument that President Biden should cancel student loan debt using executive action.
