Bennet Supports Debt-Free College in Education Plan

Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, one of 20 Democrats seeking the party's presidential nomination, backed free community college and debt-free four-year public college in an education plan his campaign released Thursday.

The plan also called for holding poor-performing colleges accountable by restricting access to federal student aid based on outcomes like default rates or high debt-to-income ratios.

Bennett's plan notably rejects calls for broad debt cancellation, but promises $10,000 in loan forgiveness per year for up to four years for student borrowers in public service jobs or in high-need fields like healthcare in underserved areas.
