Utah should have a lottery. It's the cool thing to do.

Funny thing about the HOPE...you need a 3.0 to get it & LOTS of $ goes unused

Also, I mean free tuition not costs of attending. Should have made that clear.

No way. I already pay for everyone else's kids to go to school

Arguments for it would be the same you have for public education. There

This could be true. I don't believe everyone needs a college degree.

Probably not since this a state school. You already subsidize your state school

Baron

just look at the use of student loans, and the cost of tuition in general

bald man

10/8/15 10:18am

No. States like Georgia and Florida who use lottery money to pay for kids to go

Yes. But for STEM only.

AtomicHamster

STEM is so overblown

AxelDC

Completely disagree. Free for STEM only.

If a college education is free it will be treated as such by the student and

No, you subsidize those who cannot afford it
