The document discusses ways for students to protect their financial interests in higher education. It recommends that students (1) form consumer rights groups to relay concerns to college administrators, (2) contact student government representatives and professors, and (3) write or call local and state representatives. It also suggests using alternative textbook options like online book swaps or campus book rental programs to save money compared to campus bookstores. Finally, it argues that students must represent their own interests, as the level of corruption in college finances requires intervention, and if left unchecked will only get worse.
