Today, more than 45 million student debtors are burdened by nearly $1.8 trillion in student debt. student loans disproportionately weigh on the most marginalized communities. Four years after graduating, the average loan balances of Black student debtors are more than double that of their white counterparts, due to discrepancies that can be traced to employment discrimination, racial wage gaps, and differentials in intergenerational wealth.
Rising student debt causes instructional harm, by forcing students to choose programs of study that will best service their debt rather than fulfill social and personal needs (i.e would-be public interest attorneys enter corporate law instead in order to pay back their student loans). Many faculty are ourselves student debtors. The adjunctification of the university has made it more difficult for faculty to pay back their loans. The student debt crisis is part and parcel of the faculty labor crisis.
