Eddy Conroy appears on NPR's "All Things Considered," to discuss New Mexico's 'free tuition' program.
FORDHAM: It's part of a slew of measures designed to increase enrollment at universities and revitalize New Mexico's workforce, which lacks skills. There's a severe shortage of professionals like teachers and nurses here. Lujan Grisham is part of a movement sometimes called College Promise. Eddy Conroy is an analyst at the New America Foundation who's advocated for free tuition.
EDDY CONROY: These guarantees come in a bunch of different forms. We're up to about 20 states that have some form of state-level program.
FORDHAM: In terms of the scope of who it covers and what it covers, New Mexico's initiative does go further than most.
CONROY: New Mexico's program is one of the most generous, if not the most generous, Promise program that we've seen instituted so far.
