Question of the day, or possibly the week, who's going to pay for free Junior College, other wise known as Community College. I'm not writing about who's going to pay for tuition, under the proposed plan government will.
Let's assume that because it's free enrollment doubles or triples. Who's going to pay for the new space that is needed? What about the added faculty that's needed? Labs, computer rooms, ect.
Will the cost of going to a two year college be four years because all the courses needed to go on to a regular college are filled up? Will the student who needs to learn job skills become second class students?
What do I really believe in? I'm old fart from New York City, we're if a person was smart enough or in cases prior to the baby boomers not so smart could go to college for free. I defiantly see the benefits of a free college, we might not have a cure for Polio (Salk, and Sabin) went to a free college in the city as did the our great leader During the Gulf War General Powell. Those are the people that I thought of at the top of my head.
I also believe that it's government duty to help businesses to train workers in the sciences that are needed for employment. Not necessary having them take courses that will not help them in their future endeavors.
