I see some positives here but I have some concerns too.
this plan is not progressive... so after implementation will the progressives start yelping?
if the plan fails to generate enough $$$ will those already in the plan get a "bump" from 3% up to say 5%? or do they have a contract?
It would be a contract, if there is any changes to the contract, it would happen with future students.
damn. I need to give credit to the university system of north carolina. once I got in-state tuition, it was pretty easy to graduate with little to no debt. all I really had to pay for was beer, weed, and mushrooms.
Apply to Princeton or Cooper Union. Princeton has a no-loan policy. As long asyour income is under $180,000, they'll give you financial aid grants making it free. Cooper Union pulls tuition out of their endowment. UPenn is also relaxed for pulling money out of their endowment. If you want free or low tuition experience that other developed countries provide, apply to the highly competitive schools with large endowments.
While Princeton's policy is not as " all that" as you portray, it's terrific if one qualifies for admissions and is accepted:
The school rec'd about 27,000 applications and accepted 7.86 of them. Applications are accepted/declined blindly to the need for financial aid from domestic and international students. 12% of admitted students are international.
I will agree with that, growing up in Virginia, I almost moved to North Carolina for college.
virginia is actually much better for public colleges. north carolina just has lower tuition rates. california is probably the best, but VA is a close second. hard to compete with schools like UVA and william and mary.

That is true, but being an architecture major, I didn't like what Virginia schools had to offer. Also being a city person, I didn't like the idea of going to college in a small town or rural area. VaTech could of worked for me, but the area the collegr was in was so boring.
You look cute holding up your degree, did your mommy take that photo?
No, that was a government sponsored photographer hired to make you feel special
