Tonight's Demos Discussion: Why We Must Fix Public Higher Education

Tonight Demos is hosting a much needed discussion on higher education and the needs of youth who are increasingly faced with high costs, unstable job markets, and an uncertain future.

"As today's young adults struggle to balance the rising costs of a postsecondary education with countless other financial obligations, many public universities are burdened with budget cuts, intensified admissions competition, and debt. These factors collectively drive up the cost of tuition and make a previously accessible college degree virtually unaffordable to many. The stakes of these new economic challenges are high; they make it more difficult for low- to moderate-income students to graduate, undermine the quality of education that students receive, and in the process, hamper the best path to upward mobility for the next generation of young adults."
