Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer plans to urge state lawmakers to pass legislation that would provide free community college tuition for all high school graduates during her sixth State of the State speech on Wednesday.
Whitmer also prioritized community college access in her annual address last year. State lawmakers responded by temporarily lowering the minimum age for free tuition from 25 to 21 years old. The Democratic governor now wants to expand the program by removing all age requirements for free community college, according to details of her plan provided to The Associated Press by Whitmer’s office.
Whitmer’s administration created the Michigan Reconnect program in 2021, aiming to increase the percentage of the state’s workforce with a postsecondary degree or training from 50.5% to 60% by 2030. It made Michigan residents 25 years and older eligible for free community college tuition.
You think a community college will accept you in their programs without the high school level education?
Feel free to present your own data to back up your point. So far you’ve provided none.
Yea, I am very interested in how you get into a college without a diploma, GED, or some other equivalent.
yes, they already did.
to your second point: fuck no
I’m beginning to get a picture of the problems you may have had to arrive where you are.
I hope your day get better.
your data is “people with more degrees earn more money” and your conclusion is “people with more money are better people”
…
there’s absolutely no point in trying to discuss this with someone like YOU
i’ll bring sources and have reasonable discourse with reasonable people…
and you are not one of them.
No, I said one possible measure, and asked you to provide a measure you prefer. You provided no measure of your own.
And I said nothing of the sort. Again, you’re building a strawman.
Yeah, I’m doubting that.
I’m not sure are the best person to judge that. Most of the things you say that make paint me as unreasonable are things you said, not my own words. You’re clearly having difficulty with this conversation, and my day is not made better by yours getting worse. Whatever it is in life that is denying you peace, I hope you overcome it.
I see nothing productive for either of us continuing this. I won’t be replying to you anymore.
i like how when i tell you im not going to talk to you, you try to tell me you won’t reply to me…
