I would recommend to Trump to add 100% free federal certified virtual online degree programs to his list of accomplishments.
This would accomplish:
a)free college degree for all (virtually online)
b)pressure on existing uni’s to lower prices as students opt for free alternatives
c)higher levels of education in general as more associates and bachelor degrees would leave funds for more masters and phds
d)less room for progressive teachings and more for on topic
Agreed. If the gov't is going to offer "free" college education, the online virtual college degree idea would be the way to go. It might be less costly and more convenient. Many colleges offer online degrees now.
Really, though, all colleges should be private. With college funding, many more people go to college now, mainly because they think they'll fail in life without a degree. Yet, I know/have known many high-income earners in the computer field who had a tech school education. But education will never be privatized, so the "free" online degree may be the way to go.
