[Sigifp-l] New officers

[A.J. Million]

I don't, but it would be interesting to see if there is any data out there
about the average student loan debt owned by MLS (and other) graduates.
This could be coupled with an evaluation of the impact of not forgiving
public sector employee debt.

Librarians don't make much. Taxing assistantships, not forgiving their
student loan debt, etc. would make it harder for people to earn an MLS. I
assume the same goes for most other information professions that don't have
large amounts of jobs readily available in the private sector.

Even some sort of analysis of data would be interesting...
