Or my speech...
You do not deserve to be here. You do not deserve to have to pay $60,000 a year. For those of you who graduate, because at least 20% of you will not, you do not deserve to leave here $240,000 in debt to student loans only to end up taking a job that does not require the degree you will spend the next 4-6 years pursuing. No one deserve to struggle financially for the rest of their lives because of 4 years of bullshit that your parents, educators, and soceity sold you as the only way to "get a good job" or "make a decent living."
Stanford is a private "educational" institution that operates for profit. The notion that you have to "deserve" to be there while going into debt and paying them is ridiculous. That's like saying you don't deserve to eat at Olive Garden; even though you're paying them, even though you worked hard to earn the money to pay them; because eating there is a privilege that you haven't earned yet.
