On The Issues – Higher Education: Tuition Free Community College

House Page, Evan Boer, asks Senate Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee Chair: T’wina Noblest, (D) 28th District, and Ranking Committee Member, Judy Warnick, (R) 13th District, “…some states like California, Connecticut, and Michigan have programs for tuition-free community college. I was wondering if a program like that would be feasible for Washington state, and if it would also be fiscally feasible?”


The Senate Higher Education & Workforce Development Committee considers issues relating to:

Tuition

The state’s public and private colleges and universities

Apprenticeship and workforce programs

Governance and coordination of higher education

Higher education faculty, not including collective bargaining issues

Financial aid
