President Obama's recently proposed to make two years of community college free for students. He said, "What I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody who's willing to work for it."
- Is the opportunity cost zero for a student going to college if the government pays the tuition?
- Is the oppoirtunity cost for colleges providing the courses zero if the government pays the tuition?
- Is the opportunity cost of "work[ing] for it" zero?
- Is the opportunity cost of verifying that a student has a C+ average, that the student is making "steady progress", that "community colleges ... offer academic programs that fully transfer credits to local public four-year colleges and universities or training programs with high graduation rates that lead to in-demand degrees and certificates [and] ... adopt 'promising and evidence-based institutional reforms' to improve student outcomes' zero?
- Who pays any of the costs above if they are greater than zero?
