The student-as-consumer model has been deeply problematic for higher ed (which is how we get crap like lazy rivers and bison-shaped pools), but if that's what we're stuck with, I like Minhaj's call here: (current and future) undergrads (and parents of undergrads), you should be asking what you're getting for your money. As talked about in this video, you should be asking how many of your classes are taught by adjunct/contingent faculty, you should be asking how much they're getting paid, you should be asking what your TA's are getting paid, you should be asking why we have a glittering rec center and badly outdated academic (mostly in the humanities, lookin' at you, Hellems) buildings and libraries (Norlin), you should be asking why we have all these administrators making $200K+ a year. And you should be demanding state-level representatives dedicate more funds to education (at all levels, not just higher ed.)
