Fillion writes for a group called the National Conference of State Legislatures. They are a group
that help state legislatures across the country work on skill sets and save them money. This source,
Published in March of 2016 and | believe itis stil a relevant and current source for our needs. This
source, published in the State Legislatures Magazine, which is a scholarly magazine. Fillion is addressing
a more educated audience. Lawmakers, legislation, but also college students. This source is just right for
our needs, it provides states and colleges trying to “tackle tuition”, as Fillion would say. This source
showed me that there are a lot more people trying to work on the problem of tuition, and that it’s a lot
more complicated than most of us would believe it to be.

provides research on policies related to higher education related to student financial aid, and state data
systems. A magazine The Washington Monthly published the article. Palmer attempts to prove how the
proposals made by President's in the past free college are impossible. The article is well researched and
does not demonstrate bias ideas. She also compares many states in the article revealing how each
would be affected by free tuition for their students. Even though Palmer’s article audience is that in
higher power to make changes, also her article can be read and understood by the public because she
uses ideal language in her article. The topic of her a appealing, and engaging. The information

‘examples she gives comparing the proposals given by the Presidents of the United States. We will also

option.” He believes that it would decrease the value of education in the U.S., but also claims that
college tuition should be lowered. This article was well written with facts to help elaborate on why

about low attendance in college institutions. Each state has different requirements for students to be
eligible for scholarships. For example, in Arizona, in order for the students to be eligible to get their
tuition paid they need a 2.5 GPA to keep their scholarships. There are issues with having free tuition
such as, taking away federal funded programs. In the site bar, it has statistics about the difference in
eligibility within 13 states.

Marshall Steinbaum, a Research Director and a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, in his article
“Free College for All” explains that many students are overpaying for college tuition to get a job without
knowing if they will get the position or not. Boston Review has over 63,000 readers that goes out,
towards political and literacy discussions within the well-educated individuals. Meaning tuition will
increase and so will student debt. It also will make it more difficult for minority groups to afford to go to
college. Many of them more likely will not attend school. Many of the jobs the students want to purse
would not benefit them to be able to pay back their student loans with the low income they earn for the
degree. Marshall Steinbaum gives credit to the author when he borrows their ideas. The information of
this article will help support the reason why college education should be free.

Tressie McMillan Cottom is an assistant professor of sociology at Virginia Common-Wealth
University and a contributing editor at Dissent, The University of Pennsylvania Press published this
article in 2015. In the article "Why Free College is Necessary” McMillan states that free college wouldn't
help people who are “non-traditional” students, students who are not straight out of high school or
socially unequal, but it will help people who “have some cultural capital, but without wealth.” The
article was strong in opinion and gave the reader an interesting viewpoint into why free college would
help with certain types of social classes. Although, not much evidence or research was taken into
account in this piece of argument. Knowing that McMillan did not provide statistics or research in her
argument, we will add research and statistics in our paper to help elaborate on our research question.

Jon Wiener has a B.A. from Princeton and a Ph.D. from Harvard. He is also an emeritus professor
of US history at UC Irvine. This article was from The Nation, which is a newspaper that was started by
abolitionist in 1865. This article published April of 2015 and is still current for our need to answer our
research question. Wiener seeks to inform his audience of more educated people about the financial
state is of all parties concerned when it comes to college and university tuition. He is also aiming for the
government to make changes in how tuition is being paid. He compares the United States to other
countries who provide free tuition to is students, and claims that the same can be done in the united
states. Weiner’s subject makes the article sound like a big read, but itis not at all. The information
provided in the article is well researched, and is not bias. His writing is too technical in some of his
paragraphs. The information Weiner provides in his article will help our response paper with facts about
tuition in the states. We plan to use a few of his paragraphs.
