From a business and economic standpoint I'm not sure how free tuition for state and city colleges will work. Either schools will get overcrowded and the student to teacher ratio rises significantly, or they increase admission standards. But if they do that, they will have to justify it by providing top professors and facilities. Those don't come cheap. Should just give out more academic based grants.
You are assuming that SUNY accepts everyone.  They don't.  Why in the hell would they care where the money comes from when they are already turning people away?

I don't think this matters. So what?

The bigger issue will be that this is a massive entitlement for the highest tax state in the country which has already become difficult for many people to afford.

And college graduates already can't get jobs, so I'm not sure how this is going to generate a return on investment (it won't)

Hopefully there's at least some sort of stipulation forcing the schools to enlist a certain percentage of students who will have useful degrees and actually contribute to society

The other potential issue, is this will make state schools exponentially make difficult to get in. So won't this program make it more difficult for the underprivileged to get into, thus forcing them to go to private schools or out of state screwing them? Because presumably since they're underprivileged they'll lack the resources to be as competitive as others (or so the left tells us), making it all the harder. Not sure how that will play out
You should probably just choke on your own tongue for about 10 years.  I applaud the effort, but you kill brain cells with every post.

Research, like anything.  Learn something.  Maybe then you can sit at the adult table.

Please explain

Spending hundreds of millions won't raise taxes?

Raising admission standards won't make it harder for lesser privileged people to get in?

And complaining about people either worthless degrees will always be an issue with expensive education.

Key electronic voter logs used in the Georgia special election to fill a vacant Congressional seat were swiped from the pickup truck of a poll worker during a grocery run, according to a police report obtained by Fox News.

I really am amazed we allowed someone from Alabama to be in charge of something larger than a Dairy Queen.

So, uh, is Hawaii somehow less of a state? "Yes, you can be part of America but only so we can come and enjoy your beaches and park our aircraft carriers there without having to go to the trouble of getting a passport. Don't for one moment kid yourself that you're as important as us."

Dow Chemical has basically said, "Look, we stuffed the Trump campaign with a million dollars, now make science that hurts our business go away."

I'd trade South Dakota for it (who the freak needs TWO Dakotas?) but I'm keeping Hawaii.

The Chairman of Dow Chemical wouldn't overrule an executive order, so in many ways they're more of a state than Hawaii.
