Podcast #23 - a very special "NYSFAAA" Podcast Download
Our very own Chris Bartow, NYSFAAA Chair or Government Relations and NYS HESC’s Executive Vice President, Elsa Magee were recently interviewed by Nat Malkus for his popular and long standing Podcast “The Report Card.” All parties, including AIE, have agreed to let us highlight the Podcast on the NYSFAAA website: TOPIC: The idea of free college isn’t new. In 2014, President Obama proposed free community college in his State of the Union Address. Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders had free college plans in the 2016 election, and 2020 Democratic candidates also have plenty of ideas. However, in 2017, New York was the first state to make all 2 and 4-year public colleges free for families who earn up to $125,000 – with some important caveats. In this episode, host Nat Malkus talks to Elsa Magee of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, and Christopher Barto of LIM College, about New York’s experience implementing free college, how colleges have reacted to the program, trade-offs the state had to make, and implementation lessons that states interested in a similar program can learn. Podcast #22 - Download Listen to a very interesting interview by Howard with Christopher Theodore Rhodes. Who is he? You need to listen to find out. The faint of heart and those who are not open to new ideas of how to pay for education – and most of all COLLEGE EDUCATION – should not listen. NYSFAAA nor Howard endorses Mr. Rhodes, however, he does defend his concepts well and we do not (or Howard does not) disclaim him as he explains his concept called Congressional Order 101.
