Should university be free?

Yes, University should be free to attend

This position holds that university should be free to attend. It argues that free access would let talent, not family wealth, decide who gets a degree, boosting social mobility, and that with degrees now an effective job requirement, charging heavily for them can no longer be justified.

  1. Market saturation
    Undergraduate degrees are increasingly essential for most jobs, but a lot of people can't afford to attend; we must make it more accessible to close gaps between classes.
  2. Accessible university for low income families would increase social mobility
