Higher education holds the promise of opportunity and social mobility. How we finance that education, however, makes a difference. Speakers in this session will make the argument that viewing education as a commodity acts to justify higher levels of debt and explore the proposal that we decenter the “student as consumer” metaphor, and instead focus education financing law and policy on keeping students socially mobile in an uncertain future.
