” “Cut staffing levels back to where they were in 2000 (on a per-student basis). Special attention should be paid to ‘student services’ professionals that have no real connection to academic success. Immediately freeze salaries for all staff members earning more than $100k per year. Consider further freezes if necessary. Low-productivity programs that don’t produce at least 10 graduates per year should be eliminated. Most university facilities are already woefully underused. No new building projects are necessary.”

There goes the equity office, minions hired to support AGW/true believer presidents, and who knows what else.

If this crisis has made something clear, it is that some disciplines do not need funding, and should be refused any bailout.

Universities can simply move the money around. As it is, we probably aren't directly funding Women's Studies, but the money universities get for scientific research enables them to spend their own money (and the money they get from patents on what researchers come up with) on things that aren't taxpayer-funded.

Physician, heal thyself isn’t going to do a damn thing at these groupthink factories.

Only amputation will work. Cut off funding. Cut off departments. Cut off professors, fellows, grad assistants.

Universities need to figure out why they exist and do only that.

Universities have become money hogs, taking it from everyone, while teaching students garbage which is why those students can’t compete with those from around the world.

From The Atlantic: “The U.S. education system is mediocre compared to the rest of the world, according to an international ranking of OECD countries.”
