Universities have rapidly become destroyers of knowledge whose primary purpose is to give credentials for future employers.

Hopefully a new generation of employers will test for the skills they need, stop looking at credentials, and then it is game, set and match for the lefty universities.

“whose primary purpose is to give credentials for future employers.”

That was a result of the Griggs v Duke Power decision in 1971.

That decision pretty much put an end to corporations being able to screen applicants with their own in house testing. So in order to have some kind of screening they began to require college for virtually everything.

This turned colleges into gatekeepers for employment. It’s why most everyone thinks that they need college to get a good job.
