PM Issues Committee chair Jonathan Cohn was quoted in MassLive‘s Shira Schoenberg’s write-up of a bill passed by Beacon Hill to keep a closer eye on the financial conditions of the state’s colleges and universities in light of a spate of recent closures:
While the bill passed unanimously with no debate, the liberal advocacy group Progressive Massachusetts criticized lawmakers for not going far enough. Jonathan Cohn, chair of the issues committee for Progressive Massachusetts, said in a statement, “Making sure that students and the state are aware of a college’s imminent closure or tenuous financial status is great, but it doesn’t do anything to make higher education more affordable for Massachusetts families.”
