If I had enrolled in such classes, and my Father received the bill, my university career would have been very brief indeed!

The author was absolutely dead-on with her assessment that CAREFULLY crafted courses of study have been traded for a hodge-podge of meaningless B.S. The new style "touchy-feely" classes don't teach anything but pseudo-academic double-speak--and they certainly don't prepare anyone for a meaningful vocation! I don't see this changing unless/until corporations start complaining that they can't find acceptable management prospects! Oops. Sorry, I think that's already happening, isn't it? Its the reason we need so many foreign tech/management worker visas issued every year.

I was pleased to see, though, that the article was in the LA Times. I almost fainted!

real classes are hard to teach.

BS classes mean nobody can question a professor's wacked out beliefs.

College and job performance really don't have much of a relationship anyway. Employers have never really cared that much about college records. It used to guarantee minimal skills. Now even that is questionable.

But despite their college educations, (which are little more than schools of vice these days), most graduates go on to lead productive lives.
