On Friday, President Obama proposed a program that would make community college tuition free to most students. Such a program might go a long way to providing employers with a better-skilled workforce; it would also restore growing economic opportunity for many workers. Modeled after a program that is starting up in Tennessee, Obama’s proposed program would pay tuition for community college students who are enrolled in a degree program at least half time and who maintain a 2.5 grade point average. The Federal government would kick in $60 billion over 10 years to cover 75% of the cost; states would pay the remainder.
