Here are comments by a Lieberman staffer, as previously discussed.
"Joe Lieberman believes that to honor the basic promise of equal opportunity, we have an obligation to confront this problem with clear and honest answers. That means helping more disadvantaged students enter college in the first place--and setting high standards and providing strong support so that they graduate on time with a degree.
Joe Lieberman's College Opportunity Plan sets a bold goal: that by the year 2020, at least 90 percent of the students with a high school degree go on to the military, college, or vocational school; and that at least 90 percent of the students who start college finish with a bachelor's degree within six years or an associate's degree within three years.
Lieberman's blueprint for getting there is built on three pillars: resources to bring college within the reach of all Americans, improving the readiness of students for postsecondary education, and a new focus on results to ensure that students are equipped to get and keep the new jobs of the future."
