Hosted by Ana Kasparian and Jayar Jackson of The Young Turks, http://www.youtube.com/tytuniversity|TYT University> focuses on college students and related issues (tuition, finding a job, dating, parties, religion, campus controversy and everything in between). We're looking for students, faculty members and recent graduates struggling to find work to submit videos from across the globe that might be used on the show each week.

Summary: The debt ceiling deal that was recently passed in Congress removes government subsidies for graduate student loans. As a result these loans will begin accumulating interest immediately rather than 6 months a student graduates. Cenk Uygur (subbing for Jayar) and Ana Kasparian discuss.

1. I'm glad TYT covered this!

I'm one of those students who will be screwed by this development. The march against American intellectualism continues on.
