The explosion in the cost of education is another indirect result of the massive credit bubble which itself came about after going off the gold standard in the early 1970s. Credit makes things more accessible to everyone but it also pushes up the cost. 0% rates and no standards made it so everyone could get a mortgage. Guess what? Housing went into a bubble where the average person was hurt and home ownership rates plummeted.
Why is education so expensive? Because any asshat can get a fucking student loan. More people are attending college, more demand = higher costs. Very similar to the housing bubble.
Want education costs to stop rising? Abolish student loans. How do students pay then? Easy. Scholarships is one route. Going to a local community college and working a part time job is another route before transferring. You'd take your education very seriously and study something that would payoff in the real world. Also by paying for it yourself you would take it a lot more seriously. -
Yep. 50 UCLA students tonight just did a sit in on the football rivalry bonfire (litterally sat on the pieces of tinder) tonight over the rate increase. Had to cancel the bonfire over it.jecornel said:The University of California just approved a 28% tuition hike just weeks after giving top administrators a 20% raise, all of whom make more than $300,000/year. In response, several hundred students from UC Berkeley have begun an occupation of Wheeler Hall demanding a tuition freeze and more occupations are expected across UC campuses. To put the tuition hikes into perspective, tuition at UC was $719/year in 1980. After the approved hikes, tuition will be $15,600 for in-state students and $44,500 for out-of-state students
OCCUPY UW!!!!! DO IT.....Maybe THIS will unite the fan base....let the healing begin.
Mora's reponse was "we don't need a fire to get fucking turned up" (direct quote). It's on the twitters, I am sure it will go viral

When i went to UW, a few years after the last Ice Age, Tuition was a minor issue for most. Today, you have to question the intelligence of a person who invests the dollars being spent, if the anticipated degree is not a well thought out investment. General education majors should be shot.
I saw a cartoon showing a guy standing in front of a desk labeled " Student Loan Payment", with his diploma in hand . The caption had the guy saying to the woman behind the desk "I decided to turn this in and ask for a refund" -
