seems like others would have to go along with it. Like, y'know, the state governments where the schools are. The proposal may incorporate some kind of carrot to entice states to buy in - maybe someone can check on that

It'd just be an enhanced federal aid/grant program. The states wouldn't have to buy in at all.

Nevermind that a family making $130K in Northern VA still struggles to afford college for their (average) two kids absent substantial grants and loans. But hey, class warfare!

That clarifies it a bit. So states just charge what they charge, & fed would provide a grant to offset state charges, presumably adjusted in some way for each state's/each school's charges

“The key thing in order to try to survive being stopped by the police is to comply,” she told CNN. “Whatever they ask you to do, do it. Don’t say nothing. Just do whatever they want you to do. So what’s the difference in complying and you get killed anyway?

“I made sure my kids understood the difference in being law abiding, and that the police were there to help,” she added. “I never once in my life have thought that my son would actually be killed by the persons that are supposed to protect and serve him.”

Reynolds, Castile’s girlfriend, said that in the moments after the shooting, she was trying to stay calm for her 4-year-old daughter who was in the backseat of the car, but it was her daughter who provided comfort at a tragic time.

“My daughter told me stay strong, and that’s what I had to do. My daughter told me, ‘don’t cry,’ and that’s what I had to do. My daughter prayed for me,” Reynolds told reporters Thursday, adding: “She knew that he was gone before I knew, and she said, ‘Mom, the police are bad guys. They killed him and he’s never coming back. He’s never coming back.”

MoBettle wrote:Is the federal government prepare to continue paying once these schools double what they charge? This seems to give the schools a blank check, with the added bonus that they can charge the nameless government rather than kids.

Any plan that doesn't address the rising costs of college (rather than exclusively shift who is paying) is kind of missing the point imo.
