Bobby Scott: “State disinvestment in higher education has forced students and families to shoulder more of the cost of college.”

It’s difficult to articulate how impractical these proposals are, to say nothing of the pain and suffering they’ll inflict on students, educators and their communities, if they were to become law.

The repeal represents the federal government walking away from that responsibility, which jeopardizes the hard-fought progress we have made.

When they talk about returning it to the states and making America great again, they’re talking about returning to how it was before 1954.

Codifying this new system without assessing its effectiveness just doesn’t make any sense.
