SIO522: College Is Impossibly Expensive. But It's Not Because of Bogus Degrees.
About this episode
Thomas and guest David O'Brien discuss the factors contributing to rising college tuition costs beyond the narrative of bogus degrees.
Part 2! Thomas is joined again by David O'Brien , a higher education policy scholar with the California Community Colleges system, to finish dismantling The Daily's take on Trump's student loan crackdown. Reagan, Pell Grants, and decades of quiet state defunding all get their due, plus a theory on why tuition keeps climbing that has nothing to do with cosmetology degrees.
