TheLadders currently lists about 60,000 positions at companies that pay a hefty fee to put their openings in front of high-potential recruits. The site tries to weed out unqualified applicants by charging $30 a month or $180 a year to access listings for such positions as accountant, financial analyst or director of sales, as well as more unusual jobs like "senior-level food technologist" or "business-strategy ninja...
...derives a lot of its credibility from the fact that students fund it by choice, not compulsion. However, it has become progressively become more difficult to opt of the fee over the past few years. In 2006, one only needed to click a link the termbill Web site in order to opt out of the fee.

However, its legitimacy rests on the fact that students willingly support it. How can we express our satisfaction or displeasure with our student government if the one means of doing so—the payment of the UC fee—is already decided by a third party? The UC should show enough appreciation for their unique representative position to realize that the optional fee should be truly optional...
