Exclusive: Sen. Brian Schatz’s ambitious new plan for debt-free college, explained

“Schatz, the senior senator from Hawaii, will introduce a plan on Thursday that’s essentially Hillary Clinton’s and Bernie Sanders’s college affordability plans on steroids. Schatz’s bill, called the Debt Free College Act of 2018, aims for debt-free rather than tuition-free college (as Sanders offered). It also expands the no-debt promise from just tuition (as in Clinton’s plan) to include living expenses as well.”
