What the hell is “Public Philosophy,” anyway? And what does someone who majors in “Wilderness & Outdoor Therapy” do for a living?
Bet you a dime or a doughnut it is purchased by a Saudi and is an Islamic Center within a year
“One potential problem: a long term loan of almost $20 million with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It wasn’t immediately clear how that would be collected and whether that could complicate a potential sale.”
Just WTF is the USDA doing loaning our tax dollars to a private school?
Sounds to me like a “school” that the rich send their idiot children to, to give them a sham education. Reminds me of another such place among the mansions in Rhode Island, Salve Regina University.
I'd love to take the project on, to be truthful. New faculty, new administrative staff, new student body, new curricula. No Studies programs, intercollegiate athletics, or "Remedial" anything. The words "Social", "Intersectional", "Hate Speech", and "Sustainable" banned from campus.
Gaudeamus igitur, baby.

from link:
Green Mountain College (GMC) has received a letter of congratulations from Senator Bernie Sanders on being recognized as the top Baccalaureate performer by the Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) with a score of 81.82. STARS, the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System, measures and encourages sustainability in higher education.
“I was delighted to hear that Green Mountain College received the highest score of any institution ever. Your commitment to sustainability will equip the coming generation with knowledge that is vital to meeting the mounting global challenges we are facing as a nation,” stated Senator Sanders.
High score in sustainability but couldn’t sustain itself!
The only thing dumber then Bernie Sanders are the Vermont voters that have enabled him all these years!
Not sure this would be a solution nowadays but it couldn’t do worse - Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Some friend of the POTUS should buy it up...
Coming soon.
The Green Mountain Boys Historical Seminar and Training Center, Ethan Allen Campus.
Could be some verrry interesting field course work....
Probably one of the top schools in the country for a 4 year degree in keeping snow from melting on the ski slope.
Blame Global Warming for the school's failure.
A physical campus for The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies? Or maybe a branch of Hillsdale College?
Chinese fella, Poo Fong Chuck U gonna buy it and make it a computer science center—(Spy on USA)
United Methodist.
The total elimination of an academic department is another way. A good number of colleges have eliminated classical language majors and departments and geography majors and departments.
Actually, those professors will have the easiest time finding another position.
Pity the professor of classical languages or philosophy who studies the real canon and not the leftist intellectual doggerel of today.
Sure, why not?
These are the opportunities we should be taking advantage of.
Time for the guys and gals with the big conservative bucks put it to good use. This is one of them.
Believe me - people are so hungry for a NO BS college that conducts real teaching and encourages meaningful, free dialogue it isn’t funny.
Rush, Sean, et al, don’t let this opportunity go by!
Reminds me of the college in Al Cap’s Li’l Abner series, that went for sale because the regents feared the S.W.I.N.E. (Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything).
It was bought by the Mafia, and the SWINE rioted. I still get a trill remembering the moment the Hippie front tooth assaulted the mob Enforcer’s brass knucks.
I told him, "I learned how to read a map in elementary school. You spent 6 years in college studying the same thing, and by 1992 your degree was obsolete."
So, if you were going to go for the “Self-Designed Major”, what would you be studying?
Prager U?
“What the hell is “Public Philosophy,” anyway?”
Must be the degree held by Comicus, the famous stand-up philosopher.
