Question: let’s begin with why you’re here in syracuse, why you’re doing this particular bus tour what do you believe you can do to help lower the cost of college and give families who are struggling a chance to afford an education?
Answer: well, first of all, you know, for the last month, i’ve been talking about the need for us to build a strong middle class and ladders of opportunity into the middle class. and nobody disputes that a higher education – in some form, two-year, four-year, technical college – is a necessity in a 21st century knowledge-based economy. and we’ve already done a lot over the last four years to increase pell grants, we changed the system so that money wasn’t going through banks, and we saved billions of dollars that allowed millions of students to get a better deal on their financial aid from the federal level. but when you have over the last decade or so tuition going up 260 percent and family incomes are going up 16 percent, that’s unsustainable. so a couple of things we’re going to do. number one, we want to create a new system of ratings for colleges so that parents and students know what schools graduate kids on time, are a good value for the money, lead to good jobs, because, right now, the rating systems – the commercial rating systems tend to just focus on what’s the most selective school or the most expensive school or has the nicest sports facilities.the second thing we want to do is to work with colleges who are doing some really interesting things to figure out, how do you reduce costs? can you help young people graduate a little faster so that they are measured by what they’re learning, as opposed to how many hours they’re sitting in a classroom? can we use online learning more effectively? and then the third thing we want to do is to build on something we’ve already done, which is to try to help students manage their debt. we’ve got a program right now where you never have to pay more than 10 percent of your income in – if, for example, you want to become a teacher, we want to expand that to more students, advertise it more so that young people understand they don’t have to defer their dreams if, in fact, they want to pursue a profession that may not make a lot of money, but still requires a lot of training.
