Free Tuition at Chicago City Colleges and state universities

[revolutionofsociety]

OccupyChicago should adopt in its proposals to have City Colleges of Chicago and state funded universities in Chicago to fund universal free tuition to its students through Master degree levels.

WTF?! And, who do you propose to pay for this free education? Can OC also pay for my car and mortgage? Oh, and food and clothes too. How effin clueless are you?

[revolutionofsociety]

Through taxes of course. It's free tuition in Scandanavian countries. They have trillions for bank bailouts and wars, they can fund higher education.

If you have limited imaginations expect limited results. Expect the impossible, you'll get the impossible. California had free tuition in it's state university system before Ronald Reagan dismantled it. This could and must be done again.

Hi, I've been trying to find out what Chicago is going to do for March 1, the national Day of Action announced by Occupy Education in New York. I've posted a new thread about this. Do you have anything planned?
