Student Protesters Nationwide Demand Free Tuition, $15 Minimum Wage, No Student Debt | The Compost Bin | Forums

What is going on in universities these days?

The grassroots group Million Student March says affordable education is a human right.

Fed up with rising student debt and the continuing climb of tuition costs, college students across the country are planning to walk out of classrooms today to demand change.

Students on more than 100 campuses said they plan to protest—from the University of California system on the West Coast to private colleges around the Boston area in the East. The event, called the Million Student March, was organized mainly through social media, so it’s unclear how many students will show up to participate.

The students are pushing for a $15 minimum wage for student employees on college campuses, free tuition at public universities, and the abolition of student debt.
