Video | Alicia McClanahan, Retired U.S. Army Veteran and surgical technology graduate. Now an instructor

​Education Politics and Policy
Senator Rick Scott’s ideas on how to lower the cost of college – WTSP

​Reports
How For-Profit Colleges Have Targeted and Taken Advantage of Black Students – Vice
