Future of Public Universities

I think that asking whether a C student in HS should receive public funding for college is legitimate. That person should definitely have access to SOME form of further education. Whether it should be “college,” and whether it should be accessed immediately after HS is another matter.

<p>That often exists at community colleges, which, in addition to the transfer-to-a-4-year-university preparation that is well known on these forums, offer other courses to educate people for jobs that do not require a bachelor’s degree but do require additional skills and knowledge beyond the high school diploma.</p>

<p>However, community colleges are having even worse trouble with budget cuts than flagship state universities.</p>
