President Barack Obama courted younger voters on Friday by pointing to his support for cutting off federal financial aid to colleges whose students leave with high debt.
“We now have to go directly to the source – the colleges and universities – and say, you’ve got to work on cutting tuition,” he told MTV in an interview.
“And we’re going to reward those schools that do a good job providing good value for their students while keeping tuition low, and we’ll stop directing federal aid to those colleges and universities that are loading up their students with debt,” the president said.
