Hillary Clinton Embraces Ideas From Bernie Sanders’s College Tuition Plan

Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced plans on Wednesday to eliminate college tuition at in-state public colleges and universities for families with annual incomes under $125,000 — a significant nod to a core position of Senator Bernie Sanders, who had pledged to make tuition at public institutions free for all students.

While stopping short of Mr. Sanders’s vision, the proposal is likely to hearten the senator and many of his supporters, as aides to Mrs. Clinton work to unite the party before the Democratic National Convention on July 25-28 in Philadelphia.

Mrs. Clinton’s team is eager to attract the young supporters that flocked to Mr. Sanders in the nominating fight, and a campaign aide noted that during her meeting last month with Mr. Sanders, the two discussed the merits of their plans to make college more affordable and the importance of featuring the issue prominently in the general election.

As part of the her package of proposals, Mrs. Clinton, who speaks often on the campaign trail of her plans for debt-free college education, is calling for a three-month moratorium on the repayment of federal student loans.
