My son Felix was in the studio to lead a discussion on the education system. He solicited a bunch of very insightful comments and complaints from some of his fellow students at Winter Park High School and it was very encouraging to see how smart the young’uns are (not just MY boy… though he’s pretty damn smart for sure!).
I personally, despite being a 48 years old geezer, am tired of people blaming the young for all the crap society WE created: Solidarity is our only hope and that should include INTER-GENERATIONAL solidarity too.
Felix gave a shout out to a few of his WPH friends who gave us specific contributions: Kate, Riley, Nicky, Parker, …

State universities have come under increasing criticism for excessive executive pay, soaring student debt, and low-wage faculty labor. In the public debate, these issues are often treated separately. Our study examines what happened to student debt and faculty labor at the 25 public universities with the highest executive pay (hereafter “the top 25”) from fall 2005 to summer 2012 (FY 2006 – FY 2012). Our findings suggest these issues are closely related and should be addressed together in the future.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, executive pay at “the top 25” has risen dramatically to far exceed pre-crisis levels. Over the same period, low-wage faculty labor and student debt at these institutions rose faster than national averages. In short, a top-heavy, “1% recovery” occurred at major state universities across the country, largely at the expense of students and faculty.
