Now, perhaps the answer is that we should have less people attending universities and receiving post-secondary degrees. However, I think we should think long and hard about all of the consequences of that sort of decision.
It isn't about the decrease in value of their degree that they were arguing it is about the increase in cost to their already undervalued degree. I can understand some of the frustration, however I still think looking at it from a pragmatic standpoint the increase is so minuscule that spending time rioting/protesting over it is not worth it from a pure time/benefit standpoint. I am sure that the people there could make more in a part time job than the difference they were protesting about in the same amount of time.
