Forgivable debts

The idea that one has a moral obligation to demand a living wage for University workers is simply false. Jason Hickel made the argument ("A hard bargain," Feb. 10) that to receive a University degree "in good conscience," one must push for increased wages. What Hickel and many others in the Living Wage Campaign do not understand is that many students cannot afford an increase in wages.
