Let the States and/or private concerns fund the individual colleges that they support while implementing Federal total defunding of all so-called “universities”. These schools are not too big to fail and perhaps some should, especially when football and other sports are the major reasons they can survive at all.

Re-establish intense instruction of all sorts at individual colleges, assigning tracks for students leading to true employment. Federally defund the wicked, incestuous, and basically unproductive “University” system.

Jack Hammer has nothing to worry about - he got a Ph.D. in Bourbon and Women, even if it only took four years.

I don’t think the university system can be reformed, any more than Islam can.

I’d love a GED-equivalent exam. A lot of companies won’t hire a workers without a college degree. A lot of 18-year-olds could pass a test proving that they already have the equivalent of a 4-year degree. Save yourself 4 years. Save yourself $100,000 in debt. Just go to work and skip over the Liberal brainwashing. Who needs it?

I recognize that there are professions that require real education. That’s a separate issue. But most college students aren’t doing STEM work.

No one really believes in human equality, especially the secular liberals who do nothing but spout lies about equality.

Universities also should be required to test their grads via the GRE.

The results, of course, would be hidden even deeper thwn Dorkbama the Muslim eunich’s records.

I know a lot of college students. Very, very few would pass a serious college-exit exam.
When I was homeschooled I thought my schooling was ordinary. Then later I thought it was an advantage my contemporaries missed out on. Then I started visiting college campuses (mostly for the libraries), and realized my home education was extraordinary.
The typical milly now (pardon the word play) micturating in college is hopelessly ignorant of history, inept at English, brainwashed in psychology, sociology, poli sci, and/or economics, and learning less than nothing in philosophy, journalism, and teacher ed.
And they go deep into debt for the privilege.
Exit exams will never be accepted practice. Never.

Passing an exit exam would help . . . .

remove the politics from testing? Bah humbug. VDH is stepping in it again. Right now AP study books, courses, and exams are being revised to include a favorable view of guess who? And at the expense of guess who? Might work for the hard sciences, but that isn't exactly where schools are cheating their students.

It's overpriced--and exams won't do jack squat about that.

quantifiable or demonstrable knowledge on a nationally shared basis, necessary for an informed, participatory citizenry.

This is the rationale for k-12, not higher education. If you have't got that citizenry badge by age 18, the jig is up.

Require all institutions of higher learning to “hire and employ” an equal number of CONSERVATIVE and LIBTARD professors.

YES, QUOTAS!

Break the stranglehold!
Stop the radical-Left indoctrination of our children!
