Since the 1970s, many colleges and universities have become predatory financial giants, while mountains of student debt pile up and academic work becomes ever more precarious. An ascendant academic labor movement may be key to reversing these trends.
Tuition at Oregon was $10,000?
Like 9 years ago when he went, yeah. Probably higher now. He graduated in 2018. First job? Straight to Intel, then flipped to Oracle, now he’s some director of generative AI and makes 3x the money I do and I do OK!
That’s great. Wish everyone had that opportunity. Tell him to volunteer on Lemmy. Lol
Just looked it up. Looks like it’s doubled.
Somehow that doesn’t surprise me!
Edit Oh, OK, it’s not THAT much more… remember it was $10K but he had a $5K/yr. scholarship making it $5K for me.
Now in state is $12,512 which is only about $2,500 more a year than it was 9 years ago. Not awful.
If he was going today that would be about $7,512 a year or $2,504 a term (every 3 months). I was paying $1,666 every 3 months, then rent and food and such.
