WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY: College affordability, access on the City College Community Agenda, November 2024
When business major Sandra Santivanez identified “College Affordability and Access” as one of the City College Community Agenda issues she wanted candidates to address ahead of the November 2024 election, she had one specific question for the candidates.
“What are your plans to make student life better?” she asked.
To address community members’ questions and provide insight into candidates’ plans to address College Affordability and Access, City Time Media analyzed statements made by candidates for U.S. President (Democrat and Republican parties, Green party), U.S. Senator, San Diego Mayor, and San Diego City Council Districts 3 and 9 during debates, forums and speeches.
College Affordability and Access were identified by 50% of the respondents to the City College Community Agenda survey as an issue they would like to hear candidates talk about.
In the surveys, which are still available in both English and Spanish, some of the respondents took the additional step of providing questions and comments further indicating exactly what they wanted to hear.
