Truth Summary
The popular “dual credit” courses have been jeopardized by new rules that increased degree requirements for high school teachers of college-level courses. A House bill to address the problem originally called “for universities to put some skin in the game and work to devise a plan” so teachers could get free, or almost-free, college credits toward master’s degrees, said Rep. Tony Cook, R-Cicero, when he presented the bill. But that saddled colleges with incurring those tuition costs without a clear way to fund them.
