I was disappointed to read this:

"Lovett says that some training programs in northeast Tennessee have tried to encourage employers to only hire students after they earn their degree or certificate"

That's just simply wrong! Maybe this program is more about improving stats than people?

I do think public higher ed should be free, so I'm impressed that TN has stepped up to the plate on this. Just sometimes the way good things are implemented has a lot to do with their success.
