Obama proposes publicly funded community colleges for all
By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Pres-
ident Barack Obama on Friday
proposed to bring the cost of two
years of community college “down
to zero” for all Americans, an am-
bitious nationwide plan based on a
popular Tennessee program signed
into law by that state’s Republican
governor.
However, the idea and its $60
billion federal price tag over 10
years would have to make the grade
with a Republican Congress that is
showing little appetite for big new
spending programs. Obama, who
plans to push the issue in his Jan. 20
State of the Union address, argued
that providing educational oppor-
tunity and creating a more skilled
U.S. workforce shouldn’t be a par-
tisan issue.
“Community college should be
free for those willing to work for it
because, in America, a quality edu-
cation should not be a privilege that
is reserved for a few,” he said in a
speech at Pellissippi State Commu-
nity College. He said a high school
diploma is no longer enough for
American workers to compete in
the global economy and that a col-
lege degree is “the surest ticket to
the middle class.”
The White House estimated that
9 million students could eventually
participate and save an average of
$3,800 in tuition per year if they at-
tend fulltime. Students would qual-
ify if they attend at least halftime,
maintain a 2.5 grade point average
and make progress toward complet-
Participating schools would have to
meet certain requirements.
The White House said the fed-
eral government would pick up 75
quarter would come from states that
opt into the program — a cost of
$20 billion over 10 years. Spokes-
man Eric Schultz said Obama will
propose new programs to pay for
the federal portion in his budget
next month.
Obama is calling the idea Ameri-
ca’s College Promise, modeled after
Tennessee Promise, which Republi-
can Gov. Bill Haslam signed into
law last year to provide free com-
munity and technical college tuition
for two years. It has drawn 58,000
applicants, almost 90 percent of the
state’s high school seniors. Chicago
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s
former White House chief of staff,
has a similar program for students
in his city.
“If a state with Republican lead-
ership is doing this and a city with
Democratic leadership is doing this,
how about we all do it,” Obama
said.
Obama brought Tennessee’s two
Republican senators, Bob Corker
and Lamar Alexander, with him on
Air Force One for the event. But
both said they thought states, not
the federal government, should fol-
low Tennessee’s lead.
“Creating a federal program to
me is not the way to get good things
to happen in education,”
Alexander, a former education
secretary who is set to take over
the Senate committee that oversees
education, said Washington’s role
should be to reduce paperwork for
student aid applications. Obama
said he agrees and wants to see that
happen this year.
