Clinton Partially Adopts Sanders Proposal for Free Public University Tuition
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton has announced a
proposal to eliminate tuition at in-state public colleges and
universities for families earning less than $125,000 a year. The
proposal stops short of that of her rival, Democratic presidential
candidate Bernie Sanders, who has proposed making tuition at public
universities free for all students. Still, Clinton's new position is
seen as her largely embracing one of Sanders' core issues in order to
court Sanders supporters, particularly younger voters. Sanders is
expected to give a formal endorsement of Hillary Clinton next week.
