Presentation Blog

During this presentation by this writer, he talked about open admission and free tuition and his true thoughts and feelings behind it. He believed that it was absolutely necessary for this to happen. It was something that was in place at City College in New York and at UC in California, but they have since been replaced  with colleges that cost money to go to. He truly believed that for the largest amount of people to receive higher education, open admisssion needs to exist at colleges where there is free tuition. I do not necessarily agree with this. I agree that everyone has the right to an education, but there are people that either can't afford it, or people that don't try hard enough and don't deserve it. I believe that if there were many schools with open admission with free tuition, it would be very hard to determine which students could go there. I think the students that go there would have to be in need of serious financial aid in order to receive completely free tuition to a school that has open admission. I just think that it would be biased, unfair, and not necessarily needed.
