DID YOU KNOW?

Doughnuts & Documentaries

The total cost of student loan debt and tuition

has now reached $1,000,000,000,000!

This month's Doughnuts and Documentaries film, Ivory Tower,

questions the value of higher education and argues that the high cost of tuition is at a breaking point.

The film was voted one of the best documentaries of 2014

An informal discussion follows.
