Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview
A hard hitting expose of parasitic "Higher Education" Contains salaries of officials at 25 top colleges and 25 top universities. Contains an explanation of why tuition has risen faster than inflation, why tuition is now $55,000 per year and what parents and students can do about it. Shows how to End Tuition Hikes, replace Student Loans with scholarships and force colleges to payback Student Loans.
Description
Ending the Tuition Extortion Racket gives examples of outrageous salaries paid to college officials.: • $10,269,039 paid as a bonus in 2015-16 to NYU's President John E. Sexton. • $1,210,444 paid as a bonus in 2015-16 to Vassar's President Catherine Hill. • $2,244,678 paid as salary in 2015-16 to Bowdoin College's Paula Volent. • $6,364,250 paid as salary in 2015-16 to Cornell University's Zevrosen Zaks. The books shows that "Rising tuition" is not caused by "rising costs," some mysterious force of nature. It is the deliberate policy of colleges and universities to continually raise tuition to pay for continued higher salaries. Then trustees cry "poverty" over "rising tuition" that they cause with extravagant salaries. This extortion racket has sent college students and their parents into $1.4 trillion dollars of student loan debt. Students serve as indentured servants to the colleges for years after they graduate. While parents struggle to pay off second mortgages.
