It’s not the free college President Joe Biden has floated, but at $1,000 a semester, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposed overhaul of higher education in the state comes pretty close.

Mr. Shapiro released a key part of his 2024–2025 spending agenda this week in advance of his Feb. 6 budget address, and it includes a fundamental shift in how the state would fund state universities and community colleges.
