We’re organizing to turn student debt into a thing of the past by making all Massachusetts public colleges tuition-free.
Our Campaigns
PHENOM (the Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts) is fighting for four policies which will revolutionize Massachusetts higher ed:
- Tuition-free public higher education, which would guarantee a debt-free degree to all Massachusetts residents.
- A tax on private college endowments, which would raise taxes on Massachusetts’ richest universities to fully pay for free college.
- Comprehensive Financial Aid Reform, including a streamlined and user-friendly application website, a fair and timely appeals process, and informative advertising campaigns so that students make the most of financial aid opportunities.
- An improvement to Adjunct Faculty Working Conditions, which would give adjuncts the dignity and peace of mind they have long been denied as the overexploited backbone of our university teaching staff.
- Strengthening the right to freedom of expression on all college campuses through student governments’ and college administrations’ endorsement of the Chicago Principles.
