Education - Oregon is instituting a radical new way to pay for college. It will be free but students will pay back a percentage of their income for a certain number of years, as I recall. The hard years will be the first four. After that, it should work.
ReplyDeleteEducation - are you all aware that tuition in MD state and county colleges is free for Over-60? I have taken nearly a full load for a few years and am currently taking History from 1945 to the Present. One pays a 40$ registration fee, books, and any class costs (lab fees, e.g.). I have taken all the film classes, too. You can do as little of the work as you want.
Oregon's plan re payment for college makes a lot of sense. Oregon is also an innovator in the management of Medicaid.
ReplyDeleteRe selection of next topic: I suggest the Arab Spring (which has turned into Winter) and, since we are allowing two weeks now per topic, I would include the I-P issue. And I would be willing to lead the discussion.
