Working for a living

Published Oct 20, 2005

While some lament the political apathy on university campuses, at least one movement is gaining steam.Universities have seen a growing presence of living wage advocacy groups on campus.

A living wage ensures that someone working 40 hours a week will spend no more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

A unique feature of living wage that sets it apart from minimum wage is the degree of local control.

The living wage is determined based on the cost of living in the area.

Hoards of college students happily dance about as mixed drinks are sloshed out of plastic cups onto the high heels of unsuspecting sorority girls. People crowd the bar, fighting for the attention of the bar tenders while the cover band jams loudly in the background and everyone sings along to hits by artists such as Billy Joel and Tom Petty.

Except this week it's not Saturday night; it's Tuesday night.

Think of all the things the average college student could buy with that money: It could buy food for almost an entire year in TCU's dining plan, compensate a car payment, be invested in a savings account or help with TCU's pricey tuition.

Or you could invest it in health insurance at TCU.
