When students leave USC at the end of their academic programs, they have high hopes for their diplomas. They hope that the slim piece of paper will be an indication of years of commitment to this school and to a subject of study that will hopefully lead to a lifelong passion. However, in many programs, that commitment is being ignored by a student’s official transcript, as many majors are forced to take courses with credit hours that do not adequately reflect the investments of time and work said courses require.

As The Center for College Affordability and Productivity states, increases in federal student aid since it’s inception in the 1970s have allowed colleges and universities to raise their tuition, confident that federal loan subsidies would help cushion the increase. As a result, annual federal student loan volume has increased tenfold — measured in inflation-adjusted dollars — every year since.

Although the Great Recession officially ended in 2009, the legacy it left behind continues to pose problems for many Americans, students being first among them. A shrinking job market has resulted in fierce competition for every position, and our college diplomas, once prized so highly, have become little more than scraps of paper in the wind.
