-Requiring State colleges to create a sliding scale tuition
system based on student household income.
-Placing a hard cap on two year college degree credit
maximums at 60 to 65 credits.
-Keeping college tuition increases including housing/dorm
increases on par with annual COLA increases.

The student stress of not knowing ‘what you want to do’ can be helped greatly with a new course advising approach which I can explain further if interested.

Thank you.
