Cutting the Costs of College; A Talk with Ted Mitchell

Posted by Maica Pichler on July 29, 2015 at 1:05 PM

The Campaign for Free College Tuition hosted a conference call with the United States Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell and our President Morley Winograd to talk about President Obama’s proposal, “Americas College Promise”, to make Community College free throughout the country and CFCT’s 4-step plan for free college.

Ted Mitchell and Morley Winograd answered questions from members and listeners. They addressed a variety of concerns and issues including how to deal with a surge in enrollment, enforcement of the legislation, funding of the promise, bi-partisanship, support for HBCU’s and MSI’s, completion rates, worker training programs, universal access to education, and more.

We can't do this alone!

Our goal is to make higher education a possibility for every American, without regard to their financial circumstances.

We have a lot to do and not much time to do it, so your support is critical for our campaign to succeed. It’s with your investment that we can fundamentally reform how higher education is financed in this country, opening the doors to a more equitable society.

If you agree with our goal, our plan, and the urgency of the problem, we ask that you give what you can to help us write the next chapter in our nation’s history of continuously expanding access to universal, free education.

The Campaign for Free College Tuition is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in the State of Washington in 2014 to educate parents, students, the higher education community, policy makers and taxpayers about efforts needed to fundamentally reform our nation’s system for financing higher education. This website and CFCT’s educational outreach activities are made possible through generous individual and foundation support.
