Legislative Affairs Committee
Whereas, College in the United States is now so expensive that total student debt now totals to 1.3 trillion dollars (2015), meaning the issue of college affordability is therefore highly important; and,
Whereas, The America’s College Promise Act of 2015 (H. R. 2962) would approve a series of federal grants delegating 75% of the money required to make United States community college education free; and,
Whereas, Each individual state can qualify for the grants by contributing the remaining 25% of the requirements; and,
Whereas, Some of California’s Federal Representatives have already cosponsored H. R. 2962.
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges supports H. R. 2962 by advocating to all California Federal Representatives and California U.S. Senators that they cosponsor the bill; and,
Resolved, That the Student Senate for the California Community Colleges also advocates to the California State Legislature and Government that the state of California should qualify for the grant if and when the H. R. 2962 is signed into law.
