"If we are serious about lowering costs for students, universal free community college would have lowered costs for students across the board."

"I mean obviously the California taxpayers support and subsidize this education, but it is possible to I think produce an affordable undergraduate experience."

"Given the fact that free community college was stripped from the reconciliation package, we have to look at other ways to address costs for students and institutions."

"I want to remind folks that community colleges are not just entities that serve as steppingstones to 4-year institutions."
