The United States has become a nation of educational haves and have-nots. Tuition costs are skyrocketing while real incomes have remained stagnant. Aid programs based on financial need continue to decrease. Students borrow money and then face unmanageable debt when they finish college.

Higher education should be available to everyone; it should not be limited by financial considerations. This is the basic and simple idea that underlies the Free Higher Education campaign. This campaign – coordinated by the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute – has been endorsed by numerous academic and labor organizations.
