The Democratic front-runner wants to spend $350 billion over the next decade to make public higher education a debt-free experience and community college a tuition-free option. Other aspects of her plan:
1. Tougher regulation of the for-profit sector of higher ed
2. Grants for small private colleges with modest endowments

This is a solid and sensible plan. It could ensure that the U.S. remains the world leader in higher education, while giving all Americans an equal opportunity to get the education, training and preparation to prevail in an increasingly competitive world.
