• For this project, I plan on discussing the debate over whether or not college
tuition should be made free. College tuition is increasing every year forcing
many students to drop out because they can’t cover the high costs. Free
college tuition has been a huge debate for many years reaching its height in
the 2016 election when that was the motivation for Bernie Sanders presidential
run. The topic is still a huge debate and this presentation gives facts on both
sides. This argument influences many individuals, not only the people
attending college. This presentation will allow people to see the outcomes of
free college tuition and college without free tuition.
