FREE HIGHER EDUCATION – AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME AGAIN!
As college education has become increasingly out of reach for students who cannot take out staggering loans, it has also become necessary to most decently paid employment. One of the nation’s leading African American scholars, public intellectual and Labor Party organizer Adolph Reed Jr. urges that a campaign for free public higher education become a corner stone of efforts to develop a practical policy vision for a more just and democratic society.
