Far more deserve to go out of business than actually will.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Not to worry. The CCP owns them anyway. They’ll get a CCP bailout.

[Salvey]

For once, there’s some positive news out there!

[caver]

What is the bad news?

[Gnome1949]

Only 20%? It should be much higher.

Thousands of Marxist professors out of work sounds good !

They can deliver pizza or deliver for Amazon.

Professors ought to be working on their Water Safety Instruction certification from the Red Cross. At least, when their University goes tits up, they can teach swimming lessons.

[OrangeHoof]

The silver lining. A lot of public school districts will also be on shaky financial ground. Maybe in desperation, they might try educating again instead of indoctrinating.

Once you get beyond 20 or 30 students, the class is a one direction lecture without any give and take with the professor. If you have questions you can mail them in or ask during office hours. So if I am taking a video class anyway, why would I want Professor Smith from Podunk State University when I could get the same class from the best lecturer in the country. 30 or 30,000 students doesn't matter at that point. "Old Harv" may have been a good local physics professor, but I would rather have been taught by Richard Feynman.

Learn to code!

[SmokingJoe]

And the good news keeps coming.

[Sonshinegirl]

Bump

[EEGator]

NYU, is this the University that costs 73K and threw a virtual student out for going to a rooftop party?
That NYU...

[EEGator]

After class you could learn to play bongos and learn to crack a safe too.

[ScottinVA]

So.. he makes it sound like it’s a BAD thing.

[SandwicheGuy]

Aw, poor babies... I hear there are some teacher jobs opening up. Overpaid, underlearned, educators should retrain and apply.

[Swordmaker]

GREAT! Couldn’t happen to a more corrupt set of institutions!

[ConservativeMind]

I can’t wait! Too many need to go under.

My wife and I haven’t donated to Alumni Funds for many years. Too many liberal things going on and there’s no way I want my money to help the “disadvantaged” who already get everything free I had to pay for out of my own pocket from a job, which prolonged my graduations by years.

Die, Commie Scum!

[HangnJudge]

Protect STEM programs, Business, Trades

And as usual there are people on free republic trying to spin everything as bad news :-) just a handful of the most miserable bunch of people I’ve ever met :-)

“Trump won’t be able to get 50 senators. China will bail out these higher institutions. Biden will win. The moon will crash into the Earth.”

You got to love them :-). Trump will win. We will get the supreme Court nomination. Higher education schools will tumble and I think it will be more than 20%.

A lot of good news this weekend

That’s a shame. /Seinfeld.
