http://truth-out.org/news/item/12937-the-people-bail-out-the-people
John Light, Moyers & Company: In canceling the debt, the Strike Debt team is taking advantage of a fairly common banking practice.

But they often sell the debt for less than the loan was worth to recoup some of their losses.

Working for Change in Higher Education: The Abysmal State of Adjunct Teacher Pay
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12942-working-for-change-in-higher-education-the-abysmal-state-of-adjunct-teacher-pay
Jeff Nall, Toward Freedom: Adjuncts teaching at the community college and state college level in a state like Florida, for instance, make under $2,000 per class. This means that teaching eight classes a year would yield $16,000 annually for the most highly paid community or state college adjunct.
