Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), have warned that ISAs carry many of the pitfalls of traditional private student loans, “with the added danger of deceptive rhetoric and marketing that obscure their true nature.” They allow the school to market itself as an “accessible” computer science education. These ISAs are the bedrock of Lambda’s program. Many asked to get out of the income-sharing agreements (ISAs) they’d signed, which stipulated that they had to hand over 17 percent of their income once they started making $50,000 or more until their $30,000 tuition was paid off. The program wasn’t worth the money, they wrote in a letter to Lambda’s leadership. The startup ethos of prioritizing efficiency, speed, and scale is incompatible with many people’s ability to actually learnīy January 2020, six months into the program, Surber’s group was in revolt. (The school prides itself on being incredibly responsive to user feedback.) But the constant state of flux proved difficult for first-time designers. Some of the changes were things Lambda students had requested. The online portal where they were supposed to find their homework assignments rarely matched up with what they were learning. The curriculum advertised on the website never fully materialized. The instructors changed week to week and often seemed to have no idea what the students had already covered. Now, she finally had a chance to be part of that change.įrom the beginning, however, the online class wasn’t what Surber or her classmates had expected.
She’d watched as companies like Amazon and Microsoft changed the fabric of the Seattle area, bringing massive new developments and six-figure salaries that sucked talent from nearby Tacoma. Lambda offered Surber a chance at a life she’d never had - one of job opportunities, tech money, prestige. Then, when she got a high-paying tech gig, she’d renovate his house, maybe take herself on a vacation. She’d quit her job as a patient services representative at the hospital in Tacoma, Washington, and they’d move in together while she took classes.
Surber and her boyfriend, an instructor at the local community college, quickly started making plans. The school encouraged students to defer tuition until they landed a stable job, then pay back a share of their income. Best of all, it wouldn’t cost a cent - at least not up front.
