In past posts I’ve focused on what my classes, friendships, or job have taught me over the course of sixteen weeks. This semester for me, though, turned out to be a little… unconventional. I came into the year strong.

We started this blog eight years ago, in 2016, to highlight rampant greed and corruption in US higher education, and to raise awareness of this system to students-consumers-workers and their families. Before that, we spent years in the ruthless higher ed business: seeing folks like ourselves struggling with underemployment, and juggling jobs, family obligations, and student loan debt.
