"As a nation, we need more college graduates in order to stay competitive in the global economy. But if the costs keep on rising ... college will become increasingly unaffordable for the middle class." - Education Secretary Arne Duncan
Over the last 30 years, tuition has increased by 1,120%, that is more than 2 Times rate of medical prices, and 4 Times the increase of food. President Obama has talked about using federal funding to encourage universities to stop this rapid price growth. We call on him to push this into full blown legislation and save our nation's students from coming out of college with crippling loan debt!
