Publication fees are like, #982 on the list of things driving tuition. You want to solve the student loan crisis, the first place I'd look is the evaporation of state funding for higher education from the 2008 crisis that was never restored, and will be cut again the next time the economy takes a hit.
- garbagecoder 3y agoI said “a” reason. Sheesh. Not “the” reason. Even on your list, appearing at 982, it is part of it. Why the hostility?
- Fomite 3y agoI don't think I was being particularly hostile, but honestly? Because I'm tired of seeing another round of programs meant to help students succeed and remain in college, having to sort through lists of journals that are going to be slashed to see if there's any I need to make an appeal for, and having more and more administrative work shifted to faculty in the name of budget cuts while the state economy booms.
