University is an almost wholly middle class institution so what these brats are actually marching for is less money for the poor and under priviledged and more money for the middle class, I pay my daughter 500 bucks a month, as does my ex, so she can go to college, its a pain in the arse but doable, essentially the cost of a car.
On top of that way to many people go to Uni, which means that the courses are dumbed down to accomadate the mediocre students and the actual advantage of a degree is amiliated. A degree is only worth something in the job market if it is reletively rare and difficult to get.
