Head back to school in style this semester with these fashionable links! You’ll be the talk of the campus when you are able to defend labor rights for students and educators, speak intelligently on conservative authoritative administrative tactics, and thoroughly dismantle the industrial-educational complex. You never looked so smart!
Don’t let sticker shock and years of crushing debt keep you from the education of your dreams. Remember just like a Michael Kors handbag, high tuition is worth it because it costs more! Follow visionaries like former George Washington University President Stephen Trachtenberg, who was featured in the New York Times: “College is like vodka, he [Trachtenberg] liked to explain. Vodka is by definition a flavorless beverage. It all tastes the same. But people will spend thirty dollars for a bottle of Absolut because of the brand.” If that doesn’t seem like your style you can always volunteer your labor to be on NYU’s Affordability Steering Committee and make the university the most efficient and sustainable (sustainably profitable) corporation it can be!
