It is like what is the significance of 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? It’s a start.
The tuition thing is actually real and will be a killer if this continues on. Due to the time, most were willing to accept it for this year. I foresee if this continues on, parents (who more often than not pay for this) will start demanding cuts.
I have two children in college one, public and one private. In both cases their tuition is the same. When the question was asked why they could not cut tuition, the response was “we have costs”. The idea of costs to sustain a facility no-one is able to be at is ridiculous.
In some ways we stand at the brink of a new world in education - and much like the continuing intrusion of automation into so many parts of the employment world, at some point it cannot be stopped.
That’s 50 percent of US colleges and universities at very serious (or mortal) risk...
mortal used to refer to living things.
Well, that’s a good start... Can’t shed any tears over that stat.
I recently heard that Schrödinger’s cat was buried in the casket along with Richard Feynman.
Actually I think more than 20% are going to go under. The small liberal arts private colleges will be the first to go and many of them will go down.
The community and state colleges will survive. The research universities with major funding, e.g., MIT, they’ll be fine.
Yup, it’s a good start! So many going deep into debt acquiring worthless degrees that serve only to keep incompetent professors receiving high salaries should instead be going to trade schools. There are many high paying trades in need of apprentices and journeymen.
More than 20%? Is Take on the list and Harvard?? Please!!!
Anyone, who does his work in a strip club, is my kind of prof.
