| dc.description.abstract | Since the recession of 2008, skyrocketing college costs and state disinvestment in postsecondary education have forced millions of students to take on significant student loan debt. This $1.5 trillion of debt has made it more difficult for student borrowers to pursue additional schooling, purchase a home, start a family, or save for retirement—leading to greater wealth inequality, particularly in communities of color. This report identifies key principles and recommendations for federal and state policymakers to ensure that low-income students, students of color, and undocumented immigrant students can access and complete a postsecondary credential without incurring debt. These principles are based on CLASP’s expertise and policy research focused on today’s low-income students—youth and adults who face enormous challenges in accessing affordable postsecondary pathways that support their success in school and beyond. | en |
