California makes first year of community college free

If it’s “free” then why will it cost the state about $31M annually? And who pays for that again? Oh ya taxpayers!

Finally, America will fill the huge shortage in the job market for English Lit majors.

When I was in high school, senior year, in New Jersey, a friend chose to go to college in California because it was free or near free for residents....his first semester he paid out of state tuition prices but the next 3 years as a resident it was free or nearly free tuition....then he went to graduate school, became an architect, and never moved back to NJ.

So for a while, a few decades ago, all 4 years was nearly free, of college tuition for residents in California....So I am not certain why this 1 year of Community college is something special for Calif?

While I am impressed with the public UW (University of Wisconsin) system, I got my degree at a private university. It all depends on what you are after.

No one goes to one year of community college to study English Literature.

Back in the 1960's the UC system was very cheap. My brother in law came to California to study and got degrees in math and sciences. He stayed in California and made much dinero, paid mucho taxes. That was one of the selling points of low tuition plus it's nice to have an educated populace.
