FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS FACE A TUITION HIKE WHEN THEY BEGIN CLASSES THIS MONDAY, AND GOVENOR PHIL BREDESEN SAYS, TWO-YEAR SCHOOLS "REMAIN A VERY GOOD BARGAIN." BUT THAT ISN'T QUITE THE SAME AS A CAMPAIGN PROMISE THE DEMOCRAT MADE TWO YEARS AGO ABOUT FREE TUITION FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WHO EARN AT LEAST A "C" AVERAGE. THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR HAD TOUTED THE FREE RIDE FOR TWO-YEAR SCHOOLS AS A WAY TO HELP IMPROVE JOB SKILLS AND GRADUATION RATES AS TENNESSEE LOOKS FOR WAYS TO ENHANCE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THE FREE TUITION PLAN WAS PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE THE YEAR FOLLOWING HIS LANDSLIDE RE-ELECTION, BUT IT NEVER SEEMED TO CAPTURE THE IMAGINATION OF LAWMAKERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE. |
