More higher ed questions

There was a protest yesterday to advocate for more funding for public higher education. I’ve raised some questions previously about how our public higher ed dollars are being spent.

And the Globe’s coverage of the protest raised some more. The journalist left the most interesting detail until the final sentence:

The school [UMASS Amherst] provided funding for transportation to Boston

Reminds me of the Romanian miners from the old days. At least this protest was peaceful.

    If I only graduated with $14,000 in undergraduate debt, I would have held a rally giving thanks.
