Sanders’ College for All Act: A Bold Vision Amidst Higher Education Attacks
Senator Bernie Sanders’ College for All Act of 2025 proposes eliminating tuition and fees at public colleges and universities for most Americans, specifically those from households earning under $300,000 (married) or $150,000 (single). The bill also mandates free tuition at community colleges and trade schools for all, and provides grants to minority-serving institutions to achieve similar results. This legislation directly counters Republican plans to cut federal higher education funding while enacting tax cuts for the wealthy. While facing an uphill battle in Congress, the proposal enjoys significant public support.
