Private Colleges Fret Over Clinton's University Plan

Hillary Clinton announced her new higher education plan this summer with a burst of fanfare, promising to invest $500 billion to eliminate tuition for millions of students at public colleges and universities across the country. The move was an expansion of an earlier, less ambitious proposal, and was seen as a conciliatory gesture to her left-leaning primary opponent, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and his supporters ahead of the Democratic Party's convention.

“One of the biggest issues that I hear about throughout the campaign, that I hear about from every corner of our country, is how much an education costs,” Mrs. Clinton said Wednesday at a campaign event in New Hampshire with Mr. Sanders. “Bernie’s absolutely right.”
