高等教育

Going to college should not mean going into debt. Ensuring that higher education is accessible and affordable to all Americans is key to our nation’s prosperity—and to the well-being of students and families.

More careers than ever require post-secondary education, yet higher education is increasingly out of reach. Students and families—not public dollars—now fund the bulk of higher education costs.
 

For years, 恩颐投资 members advocated 免除大学债务 to help fix educator shortages. Now, because of the Biden administration’s life-changing actions, student loans taken out by 4800万借款人 are being substantially reduced, forgiven, or even canceled outright.

“When we approach this question of disinvestment in higher education, we do so from the perspective of social justice, from the perspective of equity, from the perspective of the quality of life for our students.”
