They're Killing the Humanities on Purpose
Which part do you object to more? The policy choice to have the entire cost borne by the student (in the US, specifically)?
Or "society" encouraging people to study the humanities?

100% on the non-dischargeable debt. I appreciate the humanities and their importance, but encouraging kids to take out loans to study them, with no risk to the lender, is obscene.
