Sen. Elizabeth Warren's free college plan is the first from among the Democratic candidates to propose fully eliminating existing debt for most students.
Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has revealed a new higher-education platform that aims to eliminate tuition for two and four-year public colleges and cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans, the senator from Massachusetts announced Monday morning.
Many of Warren's challengers for the nomination are backing the Debt-Free College Act, which would pay for students attending a public college, but stopped short of full debt cancellation. "My plan would provide at least some debt cancellation for 95% of people with student loan debt , provide targeted cancellation for the families that need it most, substantially increase Black and Latinx wealth, and help close the racial wealth gap," Warren wrote in a blog post.
"College shouldn’t just be a privilege for those who can afford to take on the significant expenses associated with higher education," she wrote."Like K-12 education, college is a basic need that should be available for free to everyone who wants to go."
