The High Cost of Catering to SJWs on Campus: Dwindling Enrollment and Finances
Breitbart ^ | July 13, 2018 | Tom Ciccota

Over the last few years, a select few schools around the country have shown the high cost of catering to the demands of partisan activist groups and mobs of social justice warriors. Schools like Evergreen State College, the University of Missouri and Oberlin College are all notorious for their tendency to pander to social justice activists — and now they are paying the price. Although college enrollment is slightly declining throughout the country, these institutions have seen massive declines over just the past few years.

Martin Luther King was just a man, but his vision was a godly vision.

When he died, two demons stepped up to take advantage of his greatness.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

I can't believe I'd ever had said this, until a few years ago. Unless a child just out of HS can find a way to attend a four-year college where civilized standards of behavior are insisted on and the child can get their education without loans. what passes as education today can ruin that young adult. I see it around me.....responsible HS graduates with a good academic and behavioral background and a good work ethic seem to do just fine. The ones in that category quickly moved into management. Instead of four years of debt they have four years of earnings.

Around here, there's a nice path to a relatively inexpensive and more than adequate four-year degree. They can take a commuter bus (included in student fees) to Cleveland State and live at home. There are plenty of jobs in restaurants and retail for part time work. You'd be amazed how few take advantage of that.

What do yo think MLK meant by the "cashing a check" part of his "I have a dream" speech ?

And of course one can join the Army reserve or National Guard with all kinds of college benefits. One of my student has joined guard unit. He did so well on the entrance exam that he received a signing bonus. He will leave college with little or no debt.

Hey Hypocrites. They need money to survive. Money is everything to a college. They can’t make enough to cover costs now and cutting staff due to people staying away.

The SJWs have poisoned most schools. May they all have sand in their K-Y.

The High Cost of Catering to SJWs on Campus...

No doubt it's high. Must take a LOT of catering, and a lot of caterers round the clock for untold numbers of meals each and every day.

I think the answer is to work part time moving into full time and go to school part time. Start with the community college and go to the local state college. Take 6-8 years but graduate with no debt and a better perspective on the working world.

Unfortunately, many employers don’t view this kind of student as an attractive one for hire. They STILL want high GPAs and a realtively cookie-cutter student (i.e. 4 year grad; 22 year old) to hire. They know (or should know) this student/hire will only be around 2 years — instead of 10 or more the company built their hiring program around — but they don’t seem to care.

Plus, even today, knowing how useless most undergradute education is, it is still not practical to promote anything but a college degree. If for no other reason than work advancement and graduate school. A non-degreed employee may get along fine in certain areas for their 20s and part of their 30s, but they’ll be regretting not finishing college in their mid-30s and later. That hasn’t changed and probably won’t for a long time.
