That s because for the business any association with the individual at the event is bad for business at this point. Each employee is a representation of the company most times they don't genuinely care, they just need to look like they do.

Because the best way to see the firings, outings, and online denunciations grouped together as “cancel culture” is not through a social lens, but an economic one.
I agree, the media has cheapened the value of the "cancel culture" hypocritical because they're influential and more than one single voice. That means multiple voices under the same influence can hurt someones feelings by simply not liking their photos on social media, But the big boom is defending their causes. Striking them financially is the loss a company or public figure could take.

Rightly or wrongly, cancel culture gives the marginalised an amplified voice and a way to challenge damaging narratives promoted by the status quo.
Then the question become," who's voice is louder or more important when someone is wrongfully canceled then what do you do?
-
free speech has always had consequences, especially when that speech has the potential for harm.
I can recall Starbucks becoming canceled because they banned employees from wearing anything that has to do with anything that could prevent social and political conflict. The media took action immediately and revenue decreased significantly. This policy became a significant factor due to social circumstances as many social injustices had sparked the need for representation for those causes.
-
lost their respect
An example of this is tory lanez and meg the stallion, many people took side of the one story they heard first and it caused a mass wave of the voice of the media against one person. because fans lost respect for him in their eyes; as a result Tori was canceled.

To some, it is a new take on ‘political correctness gone mad’ and a method used by the intolerant left to enforce a puritanical censure.

When people speak out about certain topics involving social or political controversy they're more susceptible to becoming canceled. This move is often times carried out through media influence.

It is difficult for states to cover tuition and fees for all
I can see why certain criteria should be met because it is a costly investment however, instead of making the requirements unreasonable they should be more available to those students instead.
-
If states are going to make any progress in closing enrollment and achievement gaps, low-income students and students of color should be overrepresented among free college participants as compared to the general student population
I agree with this!!! The largest gap in education is between white students that separate the black and Latino students and the only way to reverse that is to give attention to the people who need it most.
-
Eliminate eligibility criteria that limit the participation of students who stand to benefit the most
Part time students should not be penalized for working to fund their education and needs. If they don't do it who will?
-
policymakers should be working toward ensuring that students who intend to earn a bachelor’s degree are able to afford college, whether they start at a four-year college or transfer in from a two-year college

They could start by actually making it free.

Such requirements – given national data on workforce patterns – could be problematic in states where low-income students and students of color face more challenges in the workforce and may need to move to find a job paying a living wage or take care of family members

especially among groups of students who already have limited access to college.
Low income students are most likely to fall below the standard when it comes to meeting the requirements because of environmental issues and lack of resources.

Options are always a nice standard to set for yoursel.

California College Promise Grant fee waiver program
This is what I applied for!
-
state policymakers can adopt multiple programs with distinct goals and designs. For example, states can provide flexible support to students with demonstrated financial need through one program and incentivize those without financial need to enroll through a separate program with more limited benefits.
I feel like this can be an effective solution because its an effort towards catering to the large amount of low income students.
-
States should not place any requirements on free college program beneficiaries related to their residency, employment, or activities after they leave or graduate from college and cease receiving aid
I disagree, there has to be some factor or task they should complete to show they're not there to waste time and they're willing to commit and put in the work.

GPA requirements
Colleges requires a certain gpa, scholarships require theirs as well, and certain grants requires certain GPAs.
-
state-level free college programs
I feel like state level would be the easiest to achieve. because its a smaller platform that can be attested as they see fit. However things can get complicated when it comes to out of state education. but in that case I feel like that student should be able to use scholar ship and funding to cover out of state fees etc.
-
creating a better educated populace has social and economic benefits for the state and broader society.

without relying on student debt that they will struggle to repay.
This would allow students to be able to focus on things like grades and whatnot instead of financial hardships.

As college becomes more and more unaffordable, low-income students are less likely to attend
While the cost of higher education is rising, the cost of living in general is rising as well. That horrible combination will result in less amount of attendance for students who come from low income backgrounds it become too ,much to deal with and then you get zombie worker bee students like Jack's Story.

This level of discrimination on school ground is toxic and sickening for a college student to have to navigate through for so long. just like the inside higher ed report referenced, Statewide free college programs were being investigated to see if they should even service students of color.

I can make a connection between this text and the artistic about Jack he explained his experiences as a black man on campus and how hard it was for him.

And each helped shift the approach to higher education away from being a privilege available to the elite alone.
Personally I believe that higher education should be a birth right. All of this knowledge was placed here to be learned it makes no sense some people will never get to go all because they cant afford it.

Officials at Ed Trust believe voters and students can better demand that these programs help low-income people if they have the tools to evaluate these initiatives.
I agree with this because like jacks argument, anythings possible when you have the right resources and support.

Free College Tuition found 78 percent of respondents supported making college tuition free for anyone who is academically capable
With this being so well about the majority I don't understand why this wasn't taken to a higher level. Its becoming a thing of the past right now when it need to be more affordable now more than ever.
-
are we creating optimal access for students?”
This is what I was referring to when I said that grants and scholarships aren't enough to get a person through college when you can't even succeed once you get there. Its not about how much money they give you to begin with its being able to support yourself once there.

The researchers found that before Tennessee Promise was established, low-income students at the state's two- and four-year institutions had more than $7,000 in unmet need,

The second report, from the Education Trust, creates a framework for how voters, families and policy makers can examine statewide free college programs to determine whether they make college more affordable for low-income families and students of color.
would it be strange to suggest that college be priced and managed based on how much income you receive.
-
But as last-dollar programs -- which only cover remaining tuition after other forms of federal and state aid have been used -- they often don’t cover the needs of the poorest students, who don’t have to pay tuition and fees but have housing, transportation, textbook and other college costs.
Interestingly enough, my first question when I got to college was," Okay, what about the housing and transportation . even when people average the total of how much you're spending on college a year, no one really factors in the means of basic necessities. Scholarships and grants only cover certain things and only last for so long.

Forty percent of American college students attended community college
The reason why I deiced that community college was the best for me is because one I didn't have the combined grades and scores to get into a university right away, nor did I have the one. Therefore all around community college was the most efficient and cheaper way for me to improve my skills.

In middle school I remember the water fountain outside of my classroom being shut down due to faulty pipes that were dated back to the mid 1900.
-
Its enrollments jumped, and so too did the number of teachers in the district.
I went to Oakland Technical High school and I can say I was apart of history , I remember being on the news after walking out with my student body in support of our teachers. Wages were unreasonable and unions were failing them. I can see how funding them would act as an incentive towards joining that field of work.
