In just a few short years, the idea of free college has moved from a radical idea to mainstream Democratic thinking. President Biden made free college one of his core campaign planks , and one that the first lady has been promoting for years. In his recent address to Congress, the president also signaled that he is ready for legislative action on a scaled-back version of the idea as part of his American Families Plan .

Two weeks ago, the nonprofit College Promise (CP)—led by Martha Kanter, who served as President Obama’s undersecretary for education—also released a proposal that will influence the free college debate. (Full disclosure: I previously advised the Biden campaign and presently advise CP, but have received no compensation for these efforts.)

In today’s polarized environment, the free college idea stands out for its bipartisan support. A majority of self-identified Republicans has supported the notion of free college in some polls. In fact, one of the first such statewide programs was put in place by Bill Haslam, the former Republican governor of Tennessee. While this could go the way of Obamacare, which faced strong GOP congressional opposition despite the law’s origins with Republican Mitt Romney, free college seems different. Biden’s latest plan only applies to community colleges, which focus on career and vocational education of the sort Republicans support, as opposed to universities, which many Republicans view as hostile battlegrounds in a culture war.

But I am less interested in the politics than the evidence of effectiveness. I have studied college access for many years and run two randomized control trials of financial aid , which produced some of the first causal evidence on free college in Milwaukee. Two years ago, Brookings released the first installment of the Milwaukee work, which I carried out with a team of researchers. Since then, we have collected more data and learned more about how students responded over time. Below, I summarize our just-released study (co-authored with Jonathan Mills), compare our results to other financial aid programs, and then discuss implications for the Biden and CP proposals. Consequently, I conclude that the evidence increasingly favors free college and “open access aid” more generally.

What Did We Learn in Milwaukee?

I developed The Degree Project (TDP) in 2009 as a demonstration program in partnership between the nonprofit Ascendium (then known as the Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation and Affiliates) and Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). TDP offered all first-time 9 th graders in half of MPS high schools $12,000 for college as “last-dollar” aid. Students could use the funds for college if they graduated from high school on time with a GPA of 2.5 and a class attendance rate of 90%. Also, as is the norm with free college programs, students had to fill out the FAFSA and have at least one dollar of unmet need. The aid could be used to attend any of the 66 public, in-state, two- or four-year colleges in Wisconsin. Ascendium provided up to $31 million to fund the grant and, as the main program administrator, sent regular letters to remind students about the program and its requirements. The organization also worked with school counselors to support students becoming eligible for the funds and preparing for college.

TDP was announced to students in the fall of 2011. Using anonymized data, we then tracked students’ high school, college, and life outcomes for eight years, and we recently received data extending through when students were roughly 22 years old. As a rare randomized trial, we could estimate the effects by comparing the control and treatment group outcomes. Here is what we found:

• For students who met the performance requirements, the program increased graduation from two-year colleges by 3 percentage points . This might seem small, but the denominator here is comprised of low-income 9 th graders. Half of the control group did not even graduate from high school, let alone college. The effect amounts to a 25% increase in two-year degrees.
• The framing and design of the program as free two-year college changed student decisions in ways consistent with what free college advocates suggest. The $12,000 maximum award amount was selected because it was sufficient to cover tuition and fees for a two-year college degree. The fact that TDP made two-year college free, but only reduced the cost of four-year college, was clearly communicated to students. This appears to explain one of our main results: Student enrollments shifted from four-year to two-year colleges. This is noteworthy given that students could use the funds at either two- or four-year colleges. In fact, students likely would have been able to use more of the $12,000 if they had shifted to four-year colleges. The only plausible reason for shifting to two-year colleges is that they were really attracted to the idea of free college.
• The “early commitment” nature of the program had some modest positive effects on some high school outcomes . Students learned about TDP in their 9 th grade year, giving them time to change their high school behaviors and college plans. Although it did not improve high school academic achievement, we find that TDP increased college expectations and the steps students took to prepare for college. TDP recipients also reported working harder because of the program (even though this did not show up in the academic measures). This highlights the fact that free college might also help address not only college-going rates, but the long-term stagnancy in high school outcomes.
• The merit requirements undermined the program’s effectiveness . Though the 2.5 GPA and 90% attendance and other requirements were arguably modest, only 21% of eligible students ended up meeting them. So, they ended up excluding many students. We also tested the two main ways that the merit requirements could have been helpful: (a) merit requirements might provide incentives for students to work hard during high school and better prepare for college, and (b) merit requirements might target aid to students who respond to it most. We find no evidence of either benefit. While students did work harder (see point [3] above), this appears to be due to other elements of the program, not the merit requirements.

Overall, these results suggest that aid is most effective when it is “open access”—that is, aid with early commitment and free college framing, but no merit requirements.

What about the evidence beyond Milwaukee?

Our study also reviews other research on financial aid, including federal aid, state merit aid programs, and the newer “promise scholarship” programs that mimic free college. Our study is not alone in finding that financial aid improves student outcomes. In fact, the vast majority of the most rigorous studies find positive effects on college attendance and college graduation. Given the strong average benefits of college, we can expect follow-up studies to show effects on employment earnings, voting, and other outcomes.

What about the costs? Open access aid is more expensive to be sure. More students receive aid and the aid levels per students are larger than traditional financial aid. Is it worth it? Our analysis suggests it is. We carried out new cost-benefit analyses of multiple programs, including TDP, but also other actively studied programs in: Kalamazoo, Michigan; Knox County, Tennessee; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and one statewide program in Nebraska. We also used estimates of the average effects of aid taken from prior literature reviews. All of these programs pass a cost-benefit test. That is, the effects on college outcomes, and the effects of college outcomes on future earnings, is much larger than the cost to the government and society as a whole. Moreover, it appears that benefits-per-dollar-of-cost are at least as high with open access aid as with more restricted programs. This means that open access aid provides greater total benefits to the community as a whole.

Back to the Free College Proposals

What do these results mean for President Biden’s and CP’s proposals? The table below provides a side-by-side comparison. The main difference is the level of detail. This reflects that the CP plan was designed to align with, and flesh out, the Biden campaign proposal. Perhaps the only substantive difference is that the CP proposal (and the Milwaukee program) includes private colleges. The Biden campaign documents exclude private colleges, though the American Families Plan just says “free community college,” signaling alignment with the CP plan. Both proposals are clearly in the category of open access aid.

There are numerous similarities between these provisions and the Milwaukee program that my team and I studied. All three programs make two-year college free (or nearly so) for all students without income requirements and through early commitment of aid. All three require the FAFSA and high school graduation. Importantly, unlike both the Biden and CP proposals, the Milwaukee program had merit requirements, which undermined its success. This is partly why our evidence is so relevant to the current debate.

Some might wonder why the president has scaled back the proposal to just free community college. This reflects that the idea of free college—even the “scaled back” version—is such a marked departure from past policy, especially at the federal level. Free community college alone would still be arguably the largest shift in federal higher education policy in the past half-century.

Caveats and Concluding Thoughts

We cannot make policy from evidence alone, but it can and should play a key role. Sometimes, policy ideas have such limited evidence of effectiveness that it is difficult to make any plausible case for a large-scale, national program. In other cases, there is enough promise for pilot studies and competitive grants to establish efficacy. With free college, we seem to be well beyond that point. In addition to decades of results on general financial aid programs, we have a growing number of studies on state and local programs that all show positive evidence—the “laboratory of democracy” at work. The idea of a large, federal free-college program therefore has more and more credibility.

A decade ago, it was not at all obvious that this is what the evidence would show. There was really no evidence on free college programs when we started this project back in 2009. Also, there were good reasons to expect that such a large increase in aid would suffer from “diminishing returns”—the idea that the next dollar is less effective than the previous one. This could have made free college more costly than the benefits could justify. Now, we know better.

I do still worry a bit about other factors and challenges. For example, the above analyses can only capture the immediate effects of financial aid, yet a federal free college program is such a marked departure in policy that it could alter political and market forces operating on higher education in unpredictable ways, perhaps even lowering college spending and quality. Also, if the proposal remains focused on community colleges, then this will shift students out of four-year colleges and into colleges that currently have very low completion rates. There are also other ways to increase college affordability and access that do not require free college (e.g., increased Pell Grants and income-based loan repayment), some of which target funds more narrowly to the most disadvantaged students. And there are many details to be worked out as the president’s allies in Congress try to generate sufficient support without (a) sacrificing core principles, or (b) creating new problems that can arise when grafting new federal programs on to widely varying state contexts.

Still, it is not often that an idea comes around that addresses a widely acknowledged problem and has both research support and a fair degree of bipartisan political support. The stars seem aligned to make some form of national free college a reality. The more evidence we see, the more that would seem to be a step forward.

5 Reasons Why College Should Be Free: The Case for Debt-Free Education

Updated: June 19, 2024

Published: January 30, 2020

The cost of college is rising even faster than inflation in the U.S. Many students around the world face financial constraints when it comes to attending college. Because education is such a vital part of life, there are many reasons why college should be free .

Not only do the arguments for debt-free education include personal benefits, but they also show how education helps to positively impact society overall.

Thankfully, the progression in technology is making it possible to increase access to education globally.

However, there is still a long way to go and more schools and countries are weighing the pros and cons of offering an affordable education . The ability to provide free education for all is becoming more of a possibility as time progresses.

5 reasons why college should be free.

Here are 5 reasons that support the case for debt-free education:

1. Improves Society

When people are more educated, they can solve problems better. This means that society can progress at a faster rate. Additionally, people with education can better understand the history of their society and its current economic conditions. As such, they may be more inclined to participate in politics and improve their country. Also, when more people have access to a college education, the number of employable people for high-skilled jobs increases. This means that more people will join the workforce, which could help lessen the wealth gap between the upper, middle, and lower classes.

2. Widened Workforce

Along with technological progressions comes a shift in the workforce. Most automated jobs are replacing low-skill workers. Automation is spreading quickly across positions that require repetition, like back-office tasks. However, automation is not meant to replace the entire workforce. Instead, the needs of most economies are shifting to require a more skilled workforce, with people who have good analytical skills and creative thinking abilities. These skills are both taught and honed with a college education. If more people could attend college for free , then the workforce will expand. The workforce will also be more agile. In the case of an economic downturn when one industry falters, another generally rises to replace it. Then, workers need to be retrained and taught skills for the job. If more people could enter school and gear their studies towards booming industries, then the population will be more equipped to cope with economic changes.

3. A Boosted Economy

Most students graduate with a massive amount of debt. For example, in the U.S., the average student debt per person is $28,950.

Graduating with significant debt is common in the U.S., where the average student debt is $28,950 per person. This debt can take years to pay off, delaying major life purchases like homes and cars. Without debt, graduates could earn, save, and spend more quickly, stimulating the economy. 

Increased consumer spending boosts demand and creates more employment opportunities, creating a positive economic cycle. Additionally, the fear of debt often deters students from pursuing higher education, so debt-free education could encourage more people to attend college.

4. Increase Equality

Since affordability is a major issue for so many people when it comes to attending college, the playing field has not always been equal. A lot of the brightest minds in the world stem from low-income households, but that shouldn’t hold them back from continuing their education. If there was an equal opportunity to attend school, then everyone would have the chance to go to school. Affordable education is a major step towards equality.

5. More Focus

When students are not worried about money, they can focus better on their studies. Even when students have loans and financial aid, they may find themselves stuck worrying about how they will have to pay them back in the future. This added stress can negatively impact their focus during the time when they are supposed to be learning.

Countries that offer free college.

Many countries understand how debt-free education provides positive outcomes. Therefore, they made tuition-free universities a reality.

Here’s a look at some countries where education is free for everyone, free for just their residents or highly subsidized by the government for foreign exchange students:

• Free University of Berlin – Known for its programs in humanities and political sciences.
• Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich – Offers a wide range of programs in arts and humanities, and physical sciences.
• Technical University of Munich – Renowned for its engineering and technology programs.
• Humboldt University of Berlin – Famous for its research and diverse study programs.

Austria (free for EU residents, low cost for non-EU residents)

• University of Vienna – Known for its rich history and diverse programs, offering low-cost tuition for non-EU students and free for EU residents.
• Graz University of Technology – Offers various technology and engineering courses with affordable tuition.
• Johannes Kepler University Linz – Provides a range of programs with low tuition fees for international students.
• University of Salzburg – Offers comprehensive programs in various fields with affordable tuition fees.
• University of Helsinki – Offers a broad range of programs and is known for high-quality research.
• Aalto University – Focuses on engineering, business, and arts.
• University of Turku – Offers diverse programs and has strong research output.
• Tampere University – Known for its social sciences and technology programs.

Czech Republic

• Charles University – One of the oldest universities in Europe, known for its diverse programs.
• Masaryk University – Offers a wide range of programs and is located in Brno.
• Czech Technical University in Prague – Specializes in engineering and technology.
• Palacký University Olomouc – Known for its humanities and social sciences programs.

Spain (free for EU residents, low cost for non-EU residents)

• University of Granada – Known for its affordable tuition fees and diverse programs.
• University of Salamanca – Offers a variety of programs with low tuition fees.
• University of Zaragoza – Known for its affordable education in various fields.
• University of Valencia – Provides a wide range of programs at affordable costs.

Are There Reasons Why College Shouldn’t Be Free?

While free college education has many benefits, there are also arguments against it. Here are some reasons why college shouldn’t be free:

1 . Increased Strain on Government Budgets: Free college would require significant funding from the government, which could lead to higher taxes or cuts in other important areas like healthcare and infrastructure. Maintaining the quality of education with limited resources can be challenging.

2. Devaluation of Degrees: If everyone can attend college for free, the value of a college degree might decrease. This could lead to an oversupply of graduates, making it harder for individuals to stand out in the job market.

3. Reduced Accountability for Academic Performance: When students don’t pay for their education, they might take it less seriously. Paying tuition can motivate students to perform better academically, as they have a financial stake in their education.

4. Implementation and Sustainability Challenges: Implementing free college programs is complex and requires careful planning. Some countries or institutions that have tried free college faced financial difficulties or had to limit enrollment due to budget constraints.

The Advantages of Online University

With technological advances, online universities are proliferating. Online universities require less overhead costs. Therefore, they are almost always cheaper than traditional schools. However, there are even some that are totally tuition-free.

Founded in 2009, Shai Reshef started the University of the People with the mission to offer an affordable and quality education to anyone around the world. Students from over 200 countries and territories have been in attendance of the online programs.

We have degree programs in Computer Science, Health Science, Education, and Business Administration.

Thanks to a wide network of volunteers and professors from renowned institutions around the world, the education offered parallels that of a traditional American university and is accredited as such.

The Takeaway

T he money for tuition-free or cheaper universities will have to come from somewhere. Arguments against free education include potential tax increases on individuals or businesses, or reallocating funds from other areas like military spending. 

Despite these political considerations, making tuition-free education more widespread offers significant advantages. It promotes equality, stimulates the economy, and creates a more skilled workforce.

At the University of the People, we are dedicated to providing quality, tuition-free education to students globally, embodying the future of accessible and inclusive higher education.

Sample Essay 1

University education is among the costliest “investments” a person can make. Consequently, there has been a cry to formalize a law to make university education free for everyone in recent times so that everyone can avail it. I feel this is a positive step, and this essay will expand my understanding of why I agree with it.

To begin with, university education costs can run well into hundreds of thousands of dollars, which may not be financially viable for every person. In a realistic scenario, even if a family is well off financially, this can become a burden as many will take educational loans to cover these costs. On top of this, books, accommodation, food, and other essentials are not factored in the tuition fees. Hence, such astronomical education costs can be a pecuniary nightmare.

On the same note, making university education cheaper really unfurls a wave of universal availing of higher education. For instance, many European countries’ public colleges charge zero for their courses. These countries, like Sweden, Germany, Finland, etc., show a very high rate of education, along with other pointers like high per capita income, high happiness index, and low tax evasion rates. Making university education free not only increases education across a country but has a positive direct and indirect effect on so many germane lifestyle pointers.

Some believe that countries, governments in general, benefit from high education rates, while others remark that free university education for all can become an obligation for the government. I feel that there are other means and ways of earning money, and earning money at the cost of a deserving person’s future is outrightly wrong. Additionally, making higher education free has one too many benefits to ignore.

Hence, university education should be free for all students keeping in mind that it is embezzled neither by the country nor the students.

Sample Essay 2

Having a qualification of tertiary education has become essential in the present. It is generally believed that universities should not charge any fees whatsoever. I agree with the given notion considerably, and I will support my angle of view in subsequent paragraphs.

To commence with the agreement side, providing tertiary education for free can elevate the education level of a whole country. To elaborate, providing free education will encourage more and more students to enrol in university courses. Students who cannot afford to pay university fees and, therefore, opt to get jobs after secondary education will also receive an opportunity to educate themselves further. More students enrolling in universities will increase education overall in a country.

Moreover, providing free university education can lead to a country’s prosperous economy. To make it clear, it is generally noticed that people, who are university graduates, have a pay scale significantly higher than that of high school graduates as university students have received specialized education in a specific field and have honed their skills within that particular field. Providing free tertiary education can encourage more and more students to enrol and specialize in a specific area which will help them to secure a hefty paying job. It will eventually help the country’s economy to grow further.

Now, looking at the disagreement side, if higher education is provided for free, students might take it for granted and start to avoid their duties. The number of university dropouts will increase as students have not paid any fees, and they are not losing anything financially by dropping out. There is a possibility that students may get swayed by the lousy influence of their peers and may get involved in immoral activities like bullying or drug trafficking without fearing expulsion as they have not paid any fees.

To conclude, providing free tertiary education can help a nation achieve greater heights in terms of education level and economy, but it may come with a price of students not taking the free education seriously because of not having to pay any fees.

Having access to academic tuition at university is considered a basic right of everyone by some individuals and they believe that irrespective of their socioeconomic background students should get a chance to study free of charge. To my mind, introducing this idea in most societies may generate some social problems and can also result in universities losing their value. Enabling general access to university education in the modern world can lead to a serious repercussion. To elaborate this, easily accessible academic training will attract huge numbers of students and this will cause imbalance between the number of job hunters and vacancies available. Consequently, the country might end up with a rising population of specialists with a university degree who are unemployed due to the limited number of jobs offered. Furthermore, charging no fees for tertiary education can change students’ attitude towards university education. In other words, it is highly likely that the opportunity to acquire free knowledge at higher education institutions may be taken for granted in a long-term run. As a result, universities might lose their status as a supreme source of obtaining quality education. To illuatrate this, my cousin was granted a chance to study for free by an organization which helped ambitious young people to achieve their dream of studying at higher institutions. Even though he was initially extremely excited about training at university his interest started to decline as he was not paying tuition fees himself and thus did not realize the value of free education. To sum up, free and easily accessible education at the university level has some drawbacks, namely, social problems like unemployment among specialists with a university degree and the change of students’ attitude towards higher education. Therefore, I believe that this is rather a negative development for the society.

Some people propose the idea that the cost of tertiary education of all students should be borne by the government to make education more accessible. I, however, do not agree with this proposition because in my opinion, doing so will do more harm than good.

The first and the foremost argument to support my view is that sponsoring the higher education of all students will put an enormous financial burden on government’s shoulders. As government has to spend its limited resources on various crucial aspects of a nation’s growth such as providing health care, developing infrastructure and conducting social welfare schemes, bearing the cost of all prospective students will result in a severe shortage of funds. To generate more funds, the government will have to either levy heavier taxes or reduce its spending on other areas. In both scenarios, the one who will be at a disadvantage is the common man. For example, a raise in taxes will give birth to inflation which will make it extremely difficult for people to even afford basic needs. Similarly, a reduction in governmental spending on pivotal areas will make those people suffer who rely heavily on govermental support.

Yet another argument is that making third-tier education cost free will also result in the system being abused. With college education becoming free, universities will get flooded with non-serious students who will take admission for the sole purpose of enjoying student life. This will not only affect the decorum of universities negatively but will also result in universities producing graduates with severely limited knowledge. This, in turn, can prove to be a hindrance in a country’s progression as the development of any nation relies on how well educated its citizens are. On top of that, implementing this system will also lead to higher drop-out rates. When the students will realise that they are not bound to pay even a single penny from their own pocket, they will not hesitate in leaving their education in the middle and thus wasting governmental resources. To conclude, without a doubt, providing university education to all is of paramount importance today to ensure the success of a nation, but making government bear its financial burden is not a judicious step as it will do more harm than any good. Nevertheless, the government must keep those students in mind who are either studious or extremely poor and help them in getting the college education by offering scholarships and interest-free loans.

Education is the key factor to assess the growth of an individual, society and a nation infact. It brings forth the innate talents of a person, thus making one capable and efficient. The more, the percentage of educated people in a country, the lesser the unemployment and the more developed it is. I believe that the education is also a basic necessity besides the food, clothing and shelter. But unfortunately, due to lack of money or facilities, many children are deprived of being educated. Hence ‘Free university education’ is need of the hour to break the shackles of unemployment and surge ahead.

I opine that each country has to set up an education fund from various taxes collected from the citizens. The best investment any country can make is in its future tax payers. Many destitute who cannot afford to meet the tuition fee expenses gets an access to education, thus increasing the average literacy rate of the country. The employment index goes high, thus increasing the number of tax payers which in turn increases the GDP. We come across many students who do part time jobs to earn a living and save money for studies. Such students can intensively and completely be dedicated to studies, if education is free.

Social equality is brought in the society irrespective of gender, caste, race, rich, poor etc. One can witness a rapid progress in technological innovations thus strengthening the roots of a nation. An educated society brings a major impact on the political system. Wise decisions can be made in electing the eligible and deserving leaders.

I find no significant and justifying reasons to disagree on this subject except for the one reason that some students might take studies for granted if it is provided at free of cost, although it might not be case with many.

To sum up, free education plays an integral role in success of an individual, society and nation as a whole. It helps for a country to grow financially, technologically and in allied areas.

University Education Should Be Free Essay

In recent years, the number of people who have been attending university greatly increased, consequently, arguments have continued as to whether students should pay for this prerogative or not. With no doubts, everything has its two sides and the problem of whether the university fees should be paid by taxpayers or not is not an exception. Still, there are people who believe that authorities should take the responsibility for funding the university fees. However, others disagree and opine that it is solely the responsibility of students to pay for their higher education that is in a direct connection to their prospering future career and life in general.

Students at fake university in Michigan created by ICE can sue US, court rules

Students who enrolled at a fake university set up by federal immigration agents have the right to sue the U.S. government, a federal court has ruled.

A decision last week by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit means that the hundreds of students who paid tuition at the University of Farmington in Farmington Hills — created by undercover agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — have a legal basis to continue pursuing their claims in court.

In 2020, a lawsuit was filed against the U.S. government in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims by attorneys on behalf of Teja Ravi and other students enrolled at the University of Farmington, which no longer exists after ICE shut it down in 2019 and arrested at least 250 of its students . The suit said the U.S. breached their contract with the students by essentially stealing their tuition money, about $11,000 a year for each student. They are asking for their money back and other punitive damages. But the legal claim was dismissed on technical grounds in 2022 by the Claims Court, which said the case lacked jurisdiction. Three judges with the appeals court overturned that decision on June 25 and remanded the case back to the Claims Court.

"This decision is not just a legal win, but a moral one," Prudhivi Raj, a student at the university, said Friday in a statement. "It underscores that no one, not even the government, is above the fundamental principles of fairness and honesty. ... We are grateful for this outcome and remain steadfast in our commitment to justice."

The Department of Homeland Security, which ICE is a part of, did not return an email this week from the Free Press seeking comment on the court's ruling. ICE has previously said they were trying to combat visa fraud. Attorneys with the Department of Justice are representing them in the case.

ICE started its undercover operation in 2015, creating a fake office on Northwestern Highway near 13 Mile with a website and an admissions process like a regular university. The University of Farmington was even listed on the website of ICE as a school approved by the U.S. government for students. It seemed real to its 600+ students, a majority of them immigrants from India interested in studying technology and science. Many students are able to live and work legally in the U.S. through university programs such as the one the University of Farmington touted. The students had arrived legally in the U.S. and were on F-1 student visa programs when they enrolled. But it was all an elaborate operation by ICE's Homeland Security Investigations to trick foreign-born students they allege were trying to "pay to stay" in the U.S., a claim the students deny. ICE arrested hundreds of students, deported many of them and others left the U.S. on their own.

"The U.S. government (is) refusing to take accountability for the parents separated from their children over this,the couples separated over this, and the financial burden on families," said attorney Anna Nathanson, who represents the students and argued the case in court. "The need for justice is urgent.”

Records reveal the Department of Homeland Security went to great lengths to deceive the students, said their attorneys. The fake university was incorporated in the state of Michigan in January 2016, records with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs show. The Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, which was working with the U.S. on its sting operation, also listed the university as legitimate.

The Free Press previously obtained emails and undercover recordings by ICE that revealed in part how the operation was conducted.

Ravi said he had paid $12,500 in tuition to the University of Farmington when he enrolled in March 2018. He and other students became suspicious when classes didn't start and contacted the university to find out what was happening, but were not helped.

Ravi was "informed that he would have a regular class schedule and have regular class," the lawsuit said. "But he was never enrolled in classes or given assignments. As soon as the semester commenced, and he still was not enrolled in classes, he contacted officials at the University to ask about classes and assignment. A university official advised him not worry about it as that was not an issue."

University of Michigan: Feds slam U-M for not investigating hate on campus against Jews, Arabs

After hearing a rumor the university may be fake, Ravi "was told by a University official that the rumor was not true," the lawsuit said.

In their decision , the three judges noted that Ravi never got his money back, saying "the allegations of fact we accept as true for purposes of this appeal are straightforward."

The judges said Ravi "paid thousands of dollars to the 'University of Farmington' to enroll as as a student, expecting to take classes. At the time of his enrollment, Mr. Ravi was unaware that the University was not a university at all but had been formed and advertised to offer educational services for money—though not actually provide them—as an undercover operation of ... (DHS) to target fraud involving student visas. The government’s operation eventually came to light, but the government neither provided the paid-for education nor gave Mr. Ravi his money back."

Students said they were entrapped , but ICE officials defended their actions.

Vance Callender, the former special agent in charge of the Detroit office of ICE's HSI at the time who was later placed on leave after agents raided his home in 2022, told the Free Press in 2019 that “HSI special agents , as part of this undercover operation, made it abundantly clear in their interactions with potential University of Farmington enrollees that the school did not offer academic or vocational programs of any kind. The individuals who enrolled in the University of Farmington did so intentionally."

A Free Press report in November 2019 about additional arrests of students sparked outrage from several elected officials against ICE , including then-U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris , U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren , D-Massachusetts, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-New York, and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin , D-Holly, Michigan, among others.

"This is cruel and appalling," Warren wrote on Twitter, now X, linking to the Free Press story. "These students simply dreamed of getting the high-quality higher education America can offer. ICE deceived and entrapped them, just to deport them."

In 2022, 40 civil rights and social justice groups signed a letter calling upon the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties to investigate how the department operated the University of Farmington and asked for redress of the students.

Nathanson said the students were "unjustly targeted by this fake ICE university."

She added that the court's ruling last week has implications that go beyond this particular case and could set a legal precedent when the government overreaches in contracts with private parties.

ChatGPT Forces Universities To Adapt Or Retreat

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

The University of Reading in the UK has revealed that ChatGPT can not only pass university exams but also outperform human students. This discovery is forcing institutions worldwide into an immediate dilemma. Do they fall back on traditional exams and risk irrelevance, or adapt?

The study paints a stark picture of AI's capabilities. Researchers created 33 fake student profiles and used ChatGPT to answer exam questions for first, second and third-year psychology modules.

The results were astonishing:

• 94% of AI-generated submissions went undetected by markers
• AI consistently achieved higher grades than human students
• Only in third-year exams requiring more abstract reasoning did human students outperform the AI

These findings raise significant concerns about the potential for students using AI to undermine academic integrity. The implications are far-reaching, challenging the foundations of how many university courses evaluate student learning.

Adapt Or Retreat?

Some institutions are taking action to mitigate the perceived threat. The University of Glasgow is transitioning from open-book online exams back to in-person exams that are invigilated, for third and fourth-year Life Science students. The university's aim is to assure students, accreditation bodies and future employers that the grades awarded are a true reflection of students' knowledge and abilities.

While this approach may safeguard against immediate concerns, it raises questions about whether reverting to traditional methods prepares students for a world where AI is increasingly ubiquitous.

Reimagining Assessment

Many educators see this moment as an opportunity for transformative change. They argue that instead of retreating to outdated methods, universities should embrace this challenge as a catalyst for innovation in assessment practices. I asked educators on LinkedIn what they thought of the study.

Dr. Jennifer Chang Wathall, a part-time instructor at the University of Hong Kong, advocates for a complete overhaul of assessment practices. "We need to focus on the process of learning and growth over a period of time; celebrating the strengths and talents of every individual," she argues. "Assessment needs to be reframed as collecting evidence of student learning—a continuous process and measured against a set of qualitative criteria."

This perspective shifts the focus from single high-stakes exams to a more holistic evaluation of a student's learning journey. It acknowledges that in an AI-augmented world, the ability to apply knowledge creatively and adapt to new challenges may be more valuable than the mere retention of information.

Jason Gulya, professor of English at Berkeley College in New York, echoes this sentiment. He sees the rise of AI as a wake-up call for educators. "The answer is not going to be more exams or 'AI-Proof Exams'. The answer is going to be more authentic assessment that prioritizes practicing relevant skills, creativity and critical thinking."

Innovative Approaches

As universities grapple with these challenges, educators are proposing and experimenting with new forms of assessment that are less susceptible to AI manipulation and more aligned with real-world skills. Tim Mousel, a kinesiology professor at Lone Star College in Texas, suggests a range of alternatives to traditional essays:

"Some of the following approaches could replace a written essay: project-based assessments, problem-solving scenarios, oral presentations or debates, collaborative group projects, reflective journals or portfolios, experiential learning assignments, peer teaching or tutoring, creation of original content, interactive simulations or role-playing, and open-ended research projects."

These methods not only make it more difficult for AI to replicate human performance but also foster skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication - abilities that are highly valued in the workplace and less easily replicated by AI.

The Human Element

Despite the challenges posed by AI, many educators see cause for optimism. They argue that the rise of AI in education could actually enhance the value of uniquely human skills and perspectives.

Trey Conatser, director of CELT at the University of Kentucky, offers a nuanced perspective on the role of writing in education: "Findings like these can feel threatening, but they're a provocation to reflect on how writing functions as a way of assessing learning as well as the act of learning itself. We don't have students write to show us what they've already learned, but we have them write so that they can learn through a scaffolded process with meaningful feedback."

This view underscores the importance of the learning process itself, not just the end product. It suggests that even as AI becomes more sophisticated, the journey of learning—with its moments of struggle, breakthrough and growth—remains a uniquely human experience that cannot be replicated by machines.

The Road Ahead

The future of learning isn't about humans versus AI. It's humans working alongside AI to push the boundaries of knowledge and creativity. Universities that adapt their assessment methods to this new reality will be the ones shaping tomorrow's leaders.

The challenge for higher education institutions is to create assessment methods that prepare students for a world where AI is an integral part of professional and personal life. This may involve teaching students how to effectively and ethically use AI tools, while also honing the critical thinking and creative skills that remain uniquely human.

As the dust settles on this latest research, the future that is created needs to look very different from today. The race is on to define what that future will be. The stakes for students, educators and society as a whole could not be higher.

Here's the new university of minnesota president's plan for the challenges awaiting her.

Rebecca Cunningham takes over as University of Minnesota president on Monday and almost immediately faces big decisions about how the U should run its medical programs and navigate tensions stemming from the war between Israel and Hamas.

Cunningham, a longtime emergency room physician, worked most recently as vice president of research and innovation at the University of Michigan, which reports one of the largest portfolios in the nation. In recent weeks, she has been attending Board of Regents meetings, scheduling introductions with Minnesota lawmakers and meeting with student groups making competing cases for whether the U should divest from Israel and how it should distinguish between free speech and hate speech.

"I'm so excited to be here," Cunningham said. "What is actually happening on the ground is just tremendous, and I've been so impressed all along the way."

Already her research background is being called upon. Two landmark U research papers — one focusing on Alzheimer's disease and another on stem cells — were retracted over concerns about their integrity after researchers elsewhere struggled to duplicate their findings and raised questions about images within them.

The Star Tribune sat down with Cunningham last week to talk about her preparation and plans for tackling some of the most immediate challenges. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Q : It's been a rough week for research at the U, with the news that two major papers were being retracted. What's your analysis of the situation, and how will you prevent that from happening during your tenure?

A: I can speak in broader brushstrokes. Every major institution across the country right now has been facing this. I think it's unfortunate when poor choices are made along the way that can impact the reputation both of research as a whole and cause concern for the public, when the vast majority of researchers are doing amazing research and are publishing with high integrity.

I dealt with this a lot last year, especially in papers from 20-plus years ago, when it maybe wasn't quite so easy to spot all of these inconsistencies. I know that there has been a number of policies and procedures put in place here to try to do more education with faculty in the meantime to help them understand what it really means to alter a figure, and that that will be noticed.

To the prevention side: Faculty, unfortunately, are under a tremendous pressure to publish. And we have to work on the climate and support for them so that we they can focus on feeling good about the science they produced, even when it doesn't produce the results they were hoping for — which is true science.

Q: Have you been involved in the discussions with Fairview Health Services over the future of the U's teaching hospital? Are you expecting any big changes in trajectory?

A: I've been doing learning on the 20 years of detailed negotiations that have been going on, getting familiar with the current, public [letter of intent], have begun to meet the assorted players. That's where we're at for right now, and then it will certainly need to be a focus for these next couple of months. I think everyone wants to see that through, in the timeline it was envisioned.

Q: The university is still navigating tensions over the war between Israel and Hamas and the controversy over hiring a director for the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Have you been consulting on those issues, and what's your approach?

A: I've been updated on them. Obviously, academic freedom is critically important. I have not been involved in the decisionmaking to date. I did get to meet with both the Divest group and the group of Jewish students that [interim] President [Jeff] Ettinger had been meeting with. I think that they were great conversations, and I'm just proud to have students that are engaged and sitting down in this manner, really respectfully looking for collective solutions.

Obviously, we are bound by free speech. We're a public university. However, we have to have a welcoming climate for all of our students and we have to be mindful of when that free speech transitions over into individual harassment. And, more than that, whatever we can do to help our students also just be mindful of how they're coming off to each other … whatever we can do to help our students work toward feeling inclusiveness, even when they disagree, is going to be critical.

Utah State University Worker Paid for 2 Years He Didn’t Work

By  Ryan Quinn

A Utah State University Eastern staff member who didn’t show up for work for more than two years was still paid over $157,000 in salary and benefits while his administrator friends covered for him, The Salt Lake Tribune reported . The newspaper said the employee was living with one of the administrators.

The university hired Warren Tyler Agner in July 2021 to support rural local businesses, paying him with state funding and grants, the Tribune reported. Agner continued to receive paychecks even though he was never in the office and multiple staff members complained about his absence to the university.

After receiving a tip, the Utah attorney general’s office prompted the university to start an internal audit in July 2023, the Tribune reported. The university also conducted a human resources investigation; Agner was fired in January, the newspaper reported. Inside Higher Ed was unable to reach Agner Monday.

Affiliates of the university and of the programs Agner was supposed to work in told the Tribune that businesses were not receiving payments they relied on. The newspaper reported that Agner was living with Jamie Cano, who was then the campus’s associate department head over professional and technical education. Cano has since left the university.

Auditors accused Ethan Migliori, who was Agner’s direct supervisor and is still the Eastern director of noncredit training, of helping cover for Agner by doing his work, according to the Tribune . Brian Warnick, the technical education department head, also reportedly supported Agner, saying he would do whatever it took to ensure that his friend had access to health insurance. The audit said Agner had health issues and applied for leave but didn’t say whether that was granted, the newspaper reported.

On Tuesday, the university responded with a statement to Inside Higher Ed : "USU is confident in the action it has taken to hold employees accountable for failing to perform their required duties and failing to comply with USU policies. When issues of noncompliance arise, our system depends on employees reporting issues of concern so they can be properly investigated and addressed. In this case, our system worked, and our grant programs and employee management are stronger as a result. We want to reassure all employees that they should not be afraid to report anything they think is wrong."

Commuter shuttles available between West Lafayette, Indianapolis starting this fall; other shuttle reminders

For faculty, staff and students who will be spending time at both the West Lafayette and the Indianapolis campus locations, free commuter shuttle services will be available beginning in August. 

Provided by Royal Excursion, six round trips will be offered daily during the week with a reduced schedule on the weekends during the fall and spring semesters. The 50-passenger buses are ADA compliant and include Wi-Fi, collaboration spaces and restrooms.

Schedules are listed on the Purdue Auxiliary Services website , and more information will be added and shared ahead of the fall semester.

Charter shuttles

Departments that have events or travel needs in Indianapolis may need to obtain charter shuttle services rather than rely on the commuter shuttles.  

Location-specific shuttles

Additionally, complimentary shuttles exist to help individuals navigate each location with JagLINE serving Indianapolis and CityBus serving West Lafayette.

Questions about various shuttle services may be sent to Procurement Services at [email protected] .

Colleges With No Application Fee

Paying for college is hard enough. You don’t want to pay to  apply  to schools. The easiest way to keep your application costs down? Apply to one of these colleges with no application fee, and save your money for tuition.

What Is an Application Fee?

Most colleges require applicants to pay a fee for consideration for admission. Application fees typically average around $50, but they can range anywhere from $20 - $90, depending on the college.

Students generally apply to more than one college, and these fees quickly add up.

Why Do Many Colleges Charge Application Fees?

Colleges use fees to cover the cost of the admissions process. Colleges need to pay the individuals that take the time to read your applications, discuss prospective students, and perform any necessary follow-up.

Many schools receive thousands of applications each year, which demand extensive—and expensive—work on their part. Instead of using the schools’ operating budgets, they pass the cost on to the applicants.

Schools also want to eliminate students that aren’t interested in their programs. Some worry that free college applications will encourage people to apply to schools indiscriminately, creating extra work that wastes the time of the admissions department.

Benefits of Applying to Colleges With No Application Fees

Colleges that are free to apply to are often just as respected and selective as schools with application fees, although their tuition can be equally expensive. Therefore, it is always important to carefully research the schools you are interested in attending.

Application fees aren’t the only costs associated with the admissions process. You’ll likely have to pay for standardized tests and additional score reports. Many students also invest in test preparation, and some try to visit their top choices.

There’s no downside to free college applications, and it can help you make the most of your overall budget.

Other Ways to Keep College Application Costs Down

Interested in a school but scared off by the application fee? Try one of these strategies:

1. Apply for fee waivers

If you come from a low-income family, you may be eligible for a fee waiver. You can request these through the ACT and SAT boards or the National Association of College Admission Counseling (NACAC). The websites for these organizations allow you to search the colleges that interest you and see whether they accept this waiver.

Some schools have processes and criteria for discounting fees, so check each school’s website. In addition to low-income applicants, they may accept requests from minority or veteran students.

2. Apply early decision

Know exactly where you want to go? Consider one of the early application options . You will not only benefit from a smaller applicant pool, but you also won’t have to apply elsewhere if you get in.

3. Be smart and selective

While in the middle of the college admissions process, it can often feel as though the schools have all the power. They don’t. You decide which schools get your money and consideration.

Limit the number of applications you submit. The number of colleges  varies between people, but be selective with your list.

Budgeting for college applications isn’t fun, but it is necessary. At Niche, we believe in helping you make the most of your college dollars.  The top-notch colleges on this list with no application fee can make the process easier.

University Essay

My idea of ideal university.

Since long ago I have been thinking about good and bad features of modern higher education , and tried to imagine how the ideal higher educational institution , the ideal university should look like. Here I shall share some thoughts concerning this subject.

Ideal university , in my opinion, is primarily a place for studying. It may sound obvious, but in fact it is very important idea – the universities in their present condition have turned into places where students are engaged in all kind of personal and social activities except for studying. Well, maybe not except, but there is really way too much attention paid to things like socialization, extracurricular activities, clubs, sporting events and so on and so forth. They should be reduced to a minimum. A higher educational institution is a place to obtain information, not communicate.

Students, if they have to be teamed up into groups, should be grouped according to their knowledge and abilities – weak with the weak, strong with the strong, in order to ensure that every one of them can compete with those who are of roughly the same level.

And, what is most important, the curriculum. The modern curriculum of any direction shows the signs of trying to include things that have no connection with what the student is supposed to be learning. Separately these inclusions don’t occupy much time, but together they eat up a good deal of time and effort every student spends to get his degree. Because of the fact that about 90% of what is…

ORDER PAPER LIKE THIS

I am genuinely excited to be applying to your university and hope that you will consider me favorably for admission. Overall, I would describe myself as an excellent student and have a good relationship with my teachers and peers. I have a strong aptitude for my and science, and I am planning to study computers and software engineering. Because I have had to overcome certain disabilities such as Dyslexia from a young age, I have had to learn to work harder than many other to get A’s and B’s, and this experience has left me with a string ability and determination to overcome any difficulties or obstacles. It has also given me a string social conscience and a desire to help others in the community with problems and disadvantages in life.

In describing my own background, I first want to mention that I was diagnosed with Dyslexia at age eleven and with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) when I was in 8th Grade. I struggled in school for several years before that as my mother attempted to get the schools refused to recognize these problems, which did not happen until I was in middle school. I understand what it is to feel humiliated and incompetent because of learning disabilities that go unrecognized, and this is not something I will ever forget.

Since there is no cure for this condition, I had to learn to live with it and work around it, and over the years I taught myself several techniques to help me accomplish this. Over time, then, I learned to cope with the dyslexia and went from a being C or D student in English to getting A’s and B’s. I have been getting mostly A’s in all my subjects along with a few B’s, and have a very strong aptitude for math and science. This experience has left me very determined and hardworking, and because I survived it I now feel that there is nothing that seems impossible to me. It has caused me to be driven to achieve the best and not to settle for anything less, but then I was left with no choice except to overcome these disabilities or let them overcome me.

In my extracurricular activities, I played football starting in my freshmen year through junior year and then became a manager of the football team. I also volunteer with the local fire department, the Food Bank and the little league baseball team, and the Food Bank. I also volunteer as an assistant coach with my younger brother’s baseball team and sometimes as a math and science tutor. I find that I really enjoy working in activities that are of service to the community, especially helping children, the disabled and the elderly. I now that there is a great deal of hunger, poverty and homelessness in this society, especially because of the current recession, and have seen this firsthand.

All Rights Reserved.   |     |   Northwestern University Graduate Student Political Theory Workshop Political theory conference 2024. The  Northwestern Graduate Student Political Theory Conference  is a biennial conference that invites graduate students and a keynote speaker to convene with the Northwestern political theory community around a given theme. Details of past conferences  can be found here . Contesting Narratives: Myth, Memory, and Histories October 31–november 1, 2024, scott hall, room 212, keynote speaker: prof. linda m.g. zerilli, university of chicago, call for papers. Building on political theory’s increased attention to marginalized experiences, embodied narratives, and thought at the periphery, this conference invites papers from a multitude of perspectives on the role of narrative in political theory. Our conference will revolve around three non-exhaustive primary themes and we will orient our four panels around variations of these themes.  The first theme asks how the canonization of political theory produces certain myths and narrative arcs, and how alternative modes of narration harbor resistance and critique. Do certain dominant modes of interpretation in political theory privilege linear narratives and a developmental understanding of the history of political thought? How can alternative styles, registers, and voices contribute to political theorizing in the present, and what do they reveal about registers of speech that have historically been marginalized and even erased? Can fables, myth, and poetry capture fractured identities, meanings, and revelations in novel ways and open up possibilities? What is the role of non-literary modes of narration? The second theme focuses on the myths and histories that structure and condition formations of power, such as states and empires, and how they shape and legitimize the establishment of hierarchies and domination. How do founding myths about the people, the nation-state, and regimes position the present, and how do they mediate the colonial past and possible futures? How does memory animate the past and present workings of empire? How do different conceptions of time, such as chronos and kairos , condition the shared myths and memory?  Can insurgent storytelling disrupt linear temporalities? The third theme investigates the role of narrative in identity formation, with particular attention to the encoding of the body and processes of memory. What role does narrative play in the rendering of trauma, creation of desires, and construction of individual subjectivity and communal identity? What kinds of affect do different modes of narrative emit? Whose traumas and stories are represented, and how, and whose are not? How do archives create or reproduce silences, omissions, and dominant frameworks?  We welcome papers that approach these questions from a variety of perspectives (historical, critical, normative, comparative) in political theory and related disciplines in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. We especially encourage interventions from postcolonial, feminist, indigenous, and non-Western thought.  The conference will offer attendees the chance to share their research on thematically-linked panels (see above) of around three participants. Northwestern’s political theory graduate students will serve as paper discussants.  The deadline for submitting proposals is August 5 . Paper proposals should be around 350 words and should be formatted as a PDF document for blind review. Please submit a second PDF including your name, institutional affiliation, and your paper title. Decisions will be made and applicants will be notified by mid-August . Full papers will be required by early-October in order to be distributed to discussants and other panelists and attend ees. Each presenter will receive a $300 stipend for their participation.  For further information, please contact Jinxue Chen, Amanda Fu, and Charlotte Mencke at [email protected] .
