Colleges are dying and nearly dead. The level of education is now at yesterday’s grade ‘D’ level. ‘C’s are now given where ‘F’s used to be given. ‘A’ are now participation trophies, they are provided for turning in material on time, even poor quality material.

There are also no ‘good’ schools anymore. Even MIT has become a running joke and a poster child for millennials.

re: “it will not allow him to enter a failing grade.”

Ya - remember when “downvotes” used to be displayed on websites?

Notanymore.

I’ve never viewed the Air Force as a strong branch of the military anyway. To me if you it’s all about the Army, Navy, and Marines.

Did you mean this post for me or for this thread about academia? If so, I don't understand your meaning.

I meant it kind of as an obscure comment on my lack of interest in the AFA.

In the Hanson talk linked above, AFA = American Freedom Alliance.

After my military service, I moved south to Baltimore and got my BA at Towson State. Richard Vatz was my favorite prof and taught a course entitled “Persuasion” which was the 1970’s version of classic “Rhetoric”. That Vatz is still teaching at that institution in the Baltimore/DC metro lib swamp is quite a testament to him.

On this thread, the words “the academy” refers to all the people across the nation who teach in higher education — all universities and colleges. It does not refer only to the military academies, nor to private high schools called “academy.”

Good things still come out of MIT—and Harvard.

But both of them stress “diversity”!! And the president of MIT is a Venezuelan!!!!

IIRC, Mike Rowe of TV's Dirty Jobs fame is a graduate from Towson. Maybe there's a lesson in that!
