The poor were mostly paying fees and not tuition anyways, since TAP covers up to 90% of tuition but 0% of fees. So this doesn't do much for the poor.
Santander is right
From this... NY should tie this to college affordability and a set tuition freeze. The problem is that colleges now are all about marketing and essentially are small towns when they don't need to be. That is a major driver of tuition increases. Also, NY should seek to avoid the UVA style billions in secret fund deals. Those extra funds should be used for reducing current tuition rates. Major point: tie continued funding to graduation and JOB ACCEPTANCE rates. If a school doesn't perform and put people into jobs, cut them or if necessary, shut it down.
