Lose The Loans: Rethinking How Students Pay For College (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/07/10/oregon-paying-for-college


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.
–Tom Ashbrook
