The 2015 new year begins with big education news splashes.  Recently the administrator just announced the possible of free tuition for community colleges students. This program basically copied from what the state of Tennessee is trying to do. The Association has discussed this topic many months ago. For detail of the discussion please click here. The administrator has introduced many ideas from CAR then it was water-down to PIRS. The ideas will keep floating until it runs to the open ocean, i.e., nothing is going to happen. It won’t surprise anyone if this new idea is just trying to create new media hype with the probability of success is not that great because it does not solve the root of the problem that the US Higher Ed is facing now. If adopted this idea will push even further from solving the real problem that the Uncle Sam is experiencing right now which is college inefficiency and campus reckless spending culture. This is just another bail-out program where the institutions can increase whatever the price they want them to be and the tax payers will pay for the price tag, instead of the students.  Surely enough, this creates potential conflicts of what PIRS program that they are trying to introduce to the public.  As results, college cost will keep increasing, skyrocketing of inefficiency, and more and more for-profit colleges will enter the industry because they can make enormous margin from this price guaranteed program. This will be the greatest business opportunities if one needs to make money easily. This program sounds too good to be true because it will dry the Uncle Sam’s already tight money. If the country has to take $303 million away from the Pell Grant to fund some other programs, then one might ask where the potentially $60 billion fund will be coming from?
