So that will be Bernie’s “gift” when the Democrats get him to quit the presidential race.

Hey - here is an opportunity to buy an entire campus on the cheap and create a REAL institute of higher learning, free of political correctness.

Really. Paging Don Jr. or someone similar...

Rush, Mark, Sean, Laura, Michelle, Tucker all have the kind of stash and (hopefully) principles necessary to get ‘er done.

Why not? That school will be busing at the seams with patriots!

So they taught all the Enviro womyn not to have kids (overpopulation!) and now...they don’t have any legacy students.

Hilarious.

Here is a list of the majors they offered. Just reading through them is a good indication that Green Mountain College wasn't long for this world:

Adventure Education
Animal Conservation & Care
Applied Environmental Science
Art
Biology
Business (Sustainable Business)
Communication Studies
Education
English & Writing
Environmental Studies
Fine Arts
History
Interdisciplinary Studies
Killington School of Resort Management Natural Resources Management
Progressive Program
Psychology
Public Philosophy
Renewable Energy & Ecological Design
Self-Designed Major
Sociology/Anthropology
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Wilderness & Outdoor Therapy
Wildlife and Forestry Conservation

What the hell is "Public Philosophy," anyway? And what does someone who majors in "Wilderness & Outdoor Therapy" do for a living?

Would be an opportunity for a conservative billionaire to purchase and turn into a beacon of conservative thought and action. Then again the President is preoccupied

Ah, ANOTHER tuition free institution of higher learning emerges.

Just like The Beatnik Bern’s wife’s Burlington College...

I think one of the fathers of the USC payola kids went to GMC, at least for a while. William Macy, iirc.

Pretty place. I think their sustainability plans went off the tracks though.

Meanwhile, other places continue to build colleges but not sure why.

Higher education is a massive bubble, funding by high tuitions, government spending and massive student debt. It supports hundreds of thousands of highly reliable voters and ideologues for the left.

“One potential problem: a long term loan of almost $20 million with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It wasn’t immediately clear how that would be collected and whether that could complicate a potential sale.”

Just WTF is the USDA doing loaning our tax dollars to a private school?

Reminds me of the college in Al Cap’s Li’l Abner series, that went for sale because the regents feared the S.W.I.N.E. (Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything).

It was bought by the Mafia, and the SWINE rioted. I still get a trill remembering the moment the Hippie front tooth assaulted the mob Enforcer’s brass knucks.
