And how will we pay for this idea?

“And how will we pay for this idea?”
Obama’s ‘stash’
For the greater good, of course.
I think all college professors should work for free.
Well, it could be implemented by adopting the way in which it is done in other developed countries with free university educations: rigorous entrance examinations so that the number of students admitted can be educated within the institution’s budget without tuition receipts, using only taxpayer funds, regarding having bright students receive proper university educations as a public good, and income from endowments (even public universities now have endowments).
This would mean that college degrees would no longer be able to be used as lazy HR tools to keep applicants qualified for jobs that can be done on the basis of a high school education or simple native talent from actually being screened, and it we would need to beef up our trade schools (I favor creating polytechnics — trade schools with just a little more academic oomph, so that one would learn the science behind one’s trade plus a thin general post-secondary education).
Just have the government pay. See, no problem.
Oldest grandson went to junior college for two years, then took two years off to work and save his money to pay for the last two years. Said he cannot believe how totally lazy and spoiled most of his classmates are. He’s carrying 15 hours and working 30 hours a week but still has time to sleep, eat and do nothing. Some of them do get it.
Online degree -- class size of thousands, or tens of thousands, grade the classwork and tests by computer. (If you want the luxury of a more personalized college experience, complete with exercise spa, gourmet meals and bowls of free condoms, you can still buy it for $200,000.)
($28,565 at UMassdoesn't seem bad. How much is the average new car loan?)
Use Native American wisdom. Professor Apache Server works very inexpensively. :)
