CL 2/13

claim = that we should all band together to demand respect and keep tuition down by working together

keep tuition low so more people can afford it
claim is absolute
- some instances that this would be incorrect would include if you were in a different country or didn’t go to school.

reason =

college is getting more out of reach, which is hard for people when they don’t have enough money to go their when the price is low
if 35 million people over 50 joined together to demand respect from congress
The student loan debt explosion could potentially be more amenable to lob- bying than any of the other problems facing Generation Debt.
One week after the sit-in, Yale, too, announced that it would no longer expect any tuition contribution at all from families earning less than $45,000 a year.
Young people urgently need a strong national generational movement—for higher education funding, fairer credit laws, a better-designed school-to-work system, justice system reform, worker protec- tions, a living wage, health care, saving programs, support for young families and homeowners, entitlement reform, and a million other issues.

evidence= only 10 % of students came from the bottom half of the income scale

this means that only people that have money are being able to go to college and get a degree.
a degree doesn’t consider a job after
it would be great to reinstate usury laws nationwide and end 29 percent annual interest rates, so that twenty-somethings earning $12,000 a year are no longer profitable customers for $10,000 lines of credit.

warrants:

an unstated belief that was in the essay would be college should be cheaper and more affordable
when many people stand together, things can change
- this happened at Yale

I do share these assumptions because they are true, college should be less expensive and when we stand together things can change.
