Pricing Free College by Sandy Baum and Alexandra Tilsley Published on May 3, 2019. urban/urban-wire/pricing-free-college This is a blog post on Urban Wire, an Urban Institute blog. The authors point out how free education would benefit income groups differently with the higher income group benefitting more. They conclude that free college education for all would <mean subsidizing the education of many who could afford to pay, instead of addressing the additional financing gaps facing both low- and moderate-income students and the institutions in which most of them are enrolled.= I Will use it for the Essay.
Sanitor Elizabeth Warren’s Presidential campaign, published April 22nd, 2019 elizabethwarren/plans/affordable-higher-education This is a detailed plan on how Sanitor Warren would cancel student loans for at least 95% of the people currently paying off student loans. The top 5% would be the people whose household income exceeds $250000. She also proposes on top of the student debt cancellation plan, a <Universal free college program=. Both programs would be financed by a 2% tax on wealth charged to those whose wealth is $50 million or more.

This is a targeted plan that only helps the ones that need it rather than everyone.

- Free Higher Education? Bad unless You Want Government to Restrict Access by Marc Tucker. Date of publication: September 26,2019. Tucker is founder and president of the NCEE (National Center on Education and the Economy). Their mission: <The National Center on Education and the Economy was created in 1988 to analyze the implications of changes in the international economy for American education, formulate an agenda for American education based on that analysis and seek wherever possible to accomplish that agenda through policy change and development of the resources educators would need to carry it out.= ncee/2019/09/free-higher-education/
Tucker argues that free college education would put too much strain on the federal government’s budget which will then require the government to put in measure and criteria for who goes to college so as to control how much is spent on education. He also argues that it would shift the burden on students from a student loan burden to a tax burden as free college education would demand higher taxes. Tucker suggests an alternative to making college education free.

Beth Akers: <Don’t ruin college by making it free? educationnext/dont-ruin-college-by-making-it-free-threats-quality-innova tion/ Akers suggests that free college would lower the standards of education available and would also hinder innovation. She asserts that Free education is already true for those who need it through need-based federal grants and university scholarships. She argues that rather than putting in more money, college accessibility for low-income students can be improved by breaking down information barriers and ensuring that young people are aware of the resources available to them. She also proposes reducing financial risk by moving grant-based assistance to the early years of college so that those who try it out and drop-out do not get burdened with student debts they cannot handle.
