What gets overlooked in the discussions about the affordability of university in terms of the rewards of higher education?
The debate on university affordability is misguided in analyzing the returns of higher education.

University graduates earn more and have greater job stability than those with only a high school diploma. Despite the general perception that the cost of university has increased, it has actually remained stable since the Great Recession.
