I am in favour of quantitatively evaluating the externality (the value created outside the transaction) associated with post-secondary education within a needs-based framework.

At a minimum, I am advocating for redirecting the expected savings from reduced government program spending rendered obsolete by additional post-secondary education to defraying tuition costs where needs-based testing thresholds are met. What share of total tuition costs of impoverished students that would account for is unknown- it could, theoretically, account for the full value of the tuition shortfall for attendance at public universities among this group of students.


What is to give light must endure burning.
