Cashmen Proposer	14	Yes	No reason given
Democratic Group	37	No	We support the right of people to choose their higher education. A workforce made up of entirely skilled workers is no workforce at all; the efforts of manual work and unskilled professions are just as valuable to society as someone attending university.
