Couldn't have said it better!
Former #CommunityCollege student @Hjordys1 shared her #RealCollege story with our panel of @SaraGoldrickRab, @GailOMellow, @SchlFinance101, and @AshASmithNews last month.
There are millions of students like her who need adequate funding. Policymakers can, and must, act.
Thank you to @TCFdotorg for their incredible research and advocacy on behalf of all of our nation's #CommunityCollege and for inviting me to join them!
Thank you to @JohnBKing, @agamoran, @AshASmithNews, @GailOMellow, @Hjordys1, @saragoldrickrab, @SchlFinance101, and everybody who joined us to discuss #CommunityCollege this morning!

Proud to join with @LehmanPresident to call on Albany to act this budget session to protect students from for-profit colleges that have a long history of loading students up with debt leaving them at risk of loan default and holding a questionable degree.
College presidents @GailOMellow and @LehmanPresident are right. New York must step up to protect students from predatory for-profit colleges.
