The country needs a new way to structure and pay for college.
Just ask the graduates now carrying a trillion dollars in college debt. Just ask the new high school grads and their families, struggling right now to figure out where to go, how to pay, without taking on a crushing burden.
And here comes a news flash from Oregon: New plan. No money down to attend its state schools. Tuition-free while you’re there, then pay maybe 3 percent of your earnings for 24 years.
Sounds radical. Sounds manageable. Would it actually work?
This hour, On Point: Radically rethinking college and how we pay.
