The Debtor Games

Umass Amherst and the five college area students against debt. Student U.S. loan debt now exceeds credit card debt for the first time ever. The class of 2011 is the most indebted class so far with the future of the following classes looking even more financially grim. Tuition costs continue to rise without guarantee that the quality of education or the value of our degrees will rise along with it. If we have any hope of surviving the “world out there” we must rise up and use the community of cohorts and technological devices waiting at our fingertips. We must rise up and take back what is ours. Debt is not a game, so let's stop allowing higher education to treat it like one.

“A trillion dollars in student loan debt right now. A trillion right. A TRILLION dollars. We are lending money that we don’t have to kids that will never be able to pay it back, to educate them for jobs that no longer exist.”

The most delinquent loan of them all: Student debt delinquencies at record levels on the eve of rates doubling. Half of college graduates working in jobs where their degree is not required.
