It's official. I'm putting together a non-profit fund that will fund student living expenses. Students will be expected to pay back into the fund when they're on their feet, and those funds will then be re-loaned to other students for 0 or very low interest. Details soon.

Yes. We need to understand who we’re investing in/lending to, and we can understand that because we’re the school

So you think
@davidsirota's wrong about Bernie's college-for-all plan simply because he once wrote an article for Salon about Chavez? Try this then:pic.twitter.com/qvLT7tRMT3

I think he’s wrong that subsidizing college at its current level of tuition is a good idea, yes. I don’t think the government should be paying $40,000/yr in tuition

So you would rather the government spend an equivalent amount to incarcerate a low income person who committed a crime they might otherwise not have if they had an opportunity to go to college instead?

Hmmm not sure those things are mutually exclusive. I definitely think there’s a better way to do things. Thanks for the chat

Maybe you should do some research on economic inequality, lack of affordable housing & poverty before you make snap judgements perhaps? You didn't know what "cheap" housing in the Bay Area costs, nor did you know one of your own students was homeless.
