College Students "Sentenced To Debt"

Oregon Action

College got more expensive, and real wages stayed flat over the last few decades.  Even people who flunked economics know that means students pay more for higher education, and borrow more to pay tuition. 

Oregon Action and The Alliance for a Just Society surveyed students at Southern Oregon University and Rogue Community College for the report "Sentenced to Debt: The Hidden Costs of Unaffordable Education."Michelle Glass from Oregon Action and SOU campaigner Celine LeClerc visit with details of the report and their own experiences.
