Around the country, school districts are facing budget crises. As K-12 Covid funding runs out, teachers, students, and communities find their district leadership cutting programs, firing them or their colleagues, and even closing schools. Local journalists, if they cover these stories, merely take notes on what district leadership says, taking it as the simple truth. But is it? What’s really go...
Breaking the Chains of Debt and Contingent Labor 7/31/2024

On July 31 we hosted a deep dive discussion into two related crises facing higher ed workers and students alike: debt and labor contingency. Often presented as both institutionally inevitable and as individually shameful, spiraling debt and rising labor precarity are in fact insidious products of policy decisions, and together they are eroding the conditions that make genuine higher education p...

    My wife is 65 years old, had to retire from teaching early because of health issues. She still owes $35,000 on student loans,. Some loans were brought on by being forced to take classes to keep her teaching certificate required by Michigan's Continuing Education Requirements for teachers. I'm 68 and retired as well. We live on a fixed income and making student loan payments really cut's into our standard of living. Now republicans want to do away with the SAVE payment program which would make are payments even higher!

    Luke's advice about making students creditors, has that even been tested against case law and in court? EDIT: Those present in this video along with many at UARTS don't want to face reality. They never bother to ask the question as to why the university had to take out over $100M in debt. Could the reason be that the policies UARTS instituted starting in 2009 where they began to blatantly discriminate against straight white males both in terms of student body and employment? Do you think the fact that UARTS career services office was impotent in its ability to send students to job opportunities. For instance, the CS office had zero contact information for any of musician unions, acting unions, and made no attempt to reach out to theaters to establish a pipeline for UARTS alumni to, in the least, audition for roles. Do you think their penchant for hiring UARTS alumni, thus not bringing new blood into the university? Are you even remotely aware that the music department's faculty consisted of 40% UARTS alumni at the time of closure? Or how about the exorbitant number of lawsuits filed against UARTS over the decades? Or are you even aware that the female teachers in visual art department conspired where they setup a honeypot to malign and terminate a teacher simply because he was a straight white male? (BTW, he won the court case and was paid handsomely.) Additionally, the women who engaged in this conspiracy, they were so dumb they outlined their plans in email and left it on the server for quite some time. Everyone wants to focus on the money. They want to insinuate that there was some secret cabal that set out to harm so called hard working artists. But they don't want to face the reality that it was their cherished policies of DEI, AA, hiring bigoted women, not have both visual and performing art standards all led to the collapse, or the fact that many of the student body had SAT scores in math and reading in the 200-300 levels.

    What idiots. The woman you’re harassing is aware of the fact that “debt relief” means either A: A lot of people are not getting their money or B: WE THE PEOPLE are paying for you. That means that men and women who have never been to college will be forced to pay more of their taxes to people who DID go to college and have access to better career paths. THIS ALSO INCLUDES PAYING FOR STUDENTS THAT DROPPED OUT. If we used that money to repair our economy, we could stop the inevitable depression our country is currently entering. But no. You want people who signed a contract to not have to fulfill it instead. All of the issues in this country and this is the shit you’re holding signs over?? Ridiculous.

    So, let me get this straight. These kids took out a loan, which they are required to pay back. They knew this from the beginning. And now they want the tax payers to pay back the "theft" that was incurred on them? Its called INTEREST boys and girls. Your classes didnt teach you that? Probably because they are too busy teaching them completely useless courses like transgenderism or gender identity. Another thing the kids dont seem to realize is the opposite situation. What if they were DENIED the loan. No student loan, no college.

I shouldnt have to pay back debt that other people incurred, just like they wont make my mortgage or car payments if I get behind on them. As far as sending millions/billions of funds to our allies at war, nobody seems to understand it is NECCESSARY to do so. This is done to keep our country safe. If we didnt get involved in any of these foreign wars, our enemies would just be beating/annexing other countries and getting bigger and bigger until they feel they have enough man power to take down the US.
