That would mean that they would have to publically take a stand against their Professor's income and tenure. And any student that would 'dare' do that, would be labelled far worse than merely a 'nutjob conservative' - this means that there would most definitely be repercussions as far as that student's grade - and their GPA will follow them the rest of their life.

Certainly, you know what happens when a conservative student challengers a libtard professor? Grade of 'A' suddenly become a 'C', extra-credit cannot be offered, benefit of the doubt is non-existant, and daring to ask for help is met with condemnation and humiliation. Whereas a Sheeple receives help, extra credit, benefit of the doubt and average work is given an 'A'.

Or the worthless degrees they offer?

Four-year degrees should really be limited to:

-engineering
-math
-sciences
-SOME business disciplines (but general business can easily fit in 2 yrs)
-lead-ups to higher degrees (MBA, medicine, masters and doctorates programs in the above areas)

Most other professions, many of them valid, could easily have their educational requirements fit into a 2 year program, but, that wouldn’t line the coffers of universities.

I saw one of those people holding little hand-written signs. He is an adjunct professor at some Uni and while employed, was whining about his students not having a chance and having to take on all this debt.

I wanted to ask him if he was in favor of a 80% pay cut so his students wouldn’t need so much debt.
