More Scenes From The Decline Of Evergreen State College
Hot Air ^ | May 22, 2018 | John Sexton

Last week I wrote about Evergreen State College’s decline in enrollment which is expected to blow a $5.9 million hole in the schools budget for the coming year. A memo outlining the school’s response said some vacancies would remain unfilled and a number of layoffs would be necessary. Today, a piece published by the Wall Street Journal reveals some additional detail on what is coming for Evergreen, including a lawsuit which will be filed this week:

Money quote:

Sandra Kaiser, Evergreen’s vice president for college relations, claims the low application and enrollment numbers may not be as bad as they look because many students commit to Evergreen “at the last moment.”

So Evergreen is the choice of students who have no where else to go.

Get Woke, Go Broke.

As an uber liberal school, Evergreen College is extremely hostile to white males, so they’re going elsewhere.

The college prevented Whites from speaking. I hope it goes bankrupt and that all the staff has to live on the street.

Not just rejects, but perpetually offended, whiny rejects.

If you’ve got a ‘D-average’ kid and are still fired up that they attend university....then Evergreen will accept the kid. Even if the kid has an IQ in the 80 to 90 range, with a little bit of help on their ‘project program’ (remember, they don’t do standard tests....you do projects to show your progress)...I think a challenged kid could wrap up a four-year degree here. Now, what a low IQ kid would do with a degree....is beyond me.

Wasn't Rachel Corrie an alum of Evergreen?

If so, they could institute a new tuition plan called the "Flat Rate."

Hey, maybe Evergreen can become one of those online diploma mills. Pay a couple hundred, get a degree.

LOL. You are so right. Thanks for educating me.

From Wiki:

After graduating from Capital High School, Corrie went on to attend The Evergreen State College, also in Olympia, where she took a number of arts courses. She took a year off from her studies to work as a volunteer in the Washington State Conservation Corps. According to the ISM, she spent three years making weekly visits to mental patients.

While at Evergreen State College she became a “committed peace activist” arranging peace events through a local pro-ISM group called “Olympians for Peace and Solidarity”. She later joined the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) organisation in order to challenge the policies of the Israeli army in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In her senior year, she proposed an independent-study program in which she would travel to Gaza, join protesters from the ISM, and initiate a “sister city” project between Olympia and Rafah. Before leaving, she also organized a pen-pal program between children in Olympia and Rafah.

Get a gubmint job.....maybe be a public skrewl teacher.

(It was actually kindda hard for me to say that last comment. It makes me face the fact that I'm an old man who remembers when teachers were deserving of, and got, respect.)

Considering the (now) national reputation the Evergreen State College has a snowflake indoctrination center, I can’t see anyone with more than a few functioning brain cells spending good money for a degree from there. Nothing like applying for a job in corporate America, with a degree from an anti-capitalist, SJW indoctrination center where you might actually have a white supervisor. Sadly, because it’s a “State” school, the taxpayers of Washington State, will continue to pay to keep this school open.

where she took a number of arts courses.

ARTS: Things that few people will actually purchase, created by people trying to avoid the real work of creating or providing goods or services of value to others, who then demand to be paid for them from public funds.

The state capitol is just up the road...think of these ‘graduates’ as those who will be smoking dope in the Olympia park, picketing on the capitol steps, and of course, staffing the DMV...

Tip of the iceberg on financial failures in academia.

Keep your eye on Michigan State University.
Very expensive damage to campus due to spring flooding
+ a half-billion settlement for the gymnasts who were
abused by Dr. Nasser.
