Should College Education Be Free
As the cost of education has increased over time and some young Americans may be losing hope and trust to educational system, the debate as to whether college education should be free or not is becoming heated. The New York Times has recently provided space for such debate, publishing about six articles written by mostly academicians and experts in the field. Among them are resident scholar, Andre Kelly, who questions the truthfulness of ‘free’ education; research fellow, Michael Petrilli, who invites us to examine the politics of free education; assistant professor, Celeste Carruthers, who shows to the world the benefits of programs such as Tennessee Promise; sociology professor, Sarah Goldrick-Rab, who argues that education should be free
