Dems promise ‘free’ college, GOP searching for response

As Republican candidates visit college campuses as part of their campaigns, a conservative vision for higher education has started to emerge, finally.

For John Kasich, that happened at Michigan State University. He explained his thoughts on higher education in broad strokes rather than concrete proposals, however, according to the Lansing State Journal.

He rejected the Democratic proposals of tuition-free or debt-free college. Instead, Kasich suggested that colleges needed to cut costs and disregard services not crucial to education. He suggested privatizing food services, leasing parking lots, and limiting the growth of college provisions to core educational services.

“We can’t slow down the cost of college,” he said. “Overhead is through the roof and colleges should be focusing on getting students in and out with the quality skills they need.”
