Tuition through contribution

Earn access by making the institution stronger.

The university is not primarily trying to extract money. It is trying to convert useful compute, memory, and labour into better education, better archives, and better research.

Public materials, abstracts, and primers are always free. Advanced study is earned through contribution, not purchased. The institution trades education for verified work, not rent.
