The Best of Our Knowledge #1598 "The Path To Free College"

College is expensive. Really expensive. I suspect you did not need me to tell you this. And it is a problem as more jobs are demanding a college degree. So what if college was free? There’s a growing movement in the U.S. that thinks it should be. That’s what Michelle Miller-Adams writes about in her new book called “The Path to Free College – In Pursuit of Access, Equity, and Prosperity”. Dr. Miller-Adams is a Professor of Political Science at Grand Valley State University, and a Senior Researcher at the W.E Upjohn Institute for Employment Research in Michigan.

We’ll also spend an Academic Minute gaining trust with a smile.
