Public college students, workers, and alumni in Massachusetts continue to deal with budget cuts that drive up tuition and fees and force students in massive student debt. That’s why we’ve filed the Debt Free Future Act to make public colleges and universities free and build the most ambitious debt-free college program in the country.
Beacon Hill lawmakers are getting ready to debate whether we keeping forcing students and families into massive debt, or whether we make a systemic change to guarantee access to a college education for every person in our Commonwealth.
