“We want a 10% increase in financial aid and a 10% decrease in tuition, but it should not come at the expense of workers and professors”
The threatened action has a deadline of Friday, when tuition payments are due.

Good.
They must be tired of paying for the sports teams.
Bottom line, they are watching videos of classrooms & not getting the full experience.
Obama didn’t go to Columbia and he still got a degree from there….with a scholarship….
Good thing I’m a worker!
Forget Columbia.. Learn to code.. there’s plenty of online options according to the ad’s across our media outlets.. and they’re cheap too.
Imagine a dime of your tuition going to Critical Race Theory?
Wait…what are my taxes going to???
Yes. It should come from the workers and teachers. Make them pay for creating an entitled class of worthless brats.
Lou Gehrig was the best thing to come out of Columbia…
I ‘survived’ one semester and got the hell out.
Historic Preservation program.
‘Left’ that place for my OWN self preservation…and being 100k in potential debt.
So I said fuck you and left.

Who gives a fuck
If loans for school were not as easily available AND closer to real market terms then the Universities would have to lower their Tuition, stream line the programs, and get the kids to work faster. There would be no time for ‘critical race theory’, “SJW”, & fisting 101.
Trade school= Cheaper, faster to a career, paid while you learn, and in demand. Just remember, don’t get married to fast & invest your money instead of wasting it on stupid shit.
This problem is really a headache
None dare call them Karens.
I demand a 10% discount and to speak with the manager of college.
Ha ha ha!
Or what?
Gonna hold yer breath til ya turn blue?
$19 Billion in assets ( https://www.finance.columbia.edu/content/columbia-university-financial-reports ) and they’re gonna let some snotty self-righteous spoiled do-nothing ignorant whelps dictate their finances?
Probably not. Mommy and Daddy will take care of business behind the scenes.

They’re just asking for a stopgap until the current regime makes it free.
How do you withhold a payment of borrowed money that never touches your hands?
“How do you withhold a payment of borrowed money that never touches your hands?”
How is it “borrowed” if it doesn’t have to be re-paid?
The money is extorted from those who work to supply a pretense of education to those who don’t.

“…it should not come at the expense of workers and professors”.
Yes, It’ll come at the expense of the taxpayers.
The sniveling Marxist brats pick our pockets every day.
Pffft – the professors are the biggest fucking problem.
