Too many universities have decided that their highest goal is training the next generation of communists to attack our country.
He talked about this during the campaign. He was going to change the way they were accredited so that current schools would lose their accreditation if they didn’t change. I’m sure this is still an issue on his plate but it might not be as high of a priority as the current ones he’s working on.
Where universities really cost us is not as much in cash outlays but in the way they abet regulatory racketeering.
Lose funding?
Hell, lose the land.
Most of the big universities - University of California for example - are Land Grant universities. They owe the ground they sit on to the Federal government.
They used to have to incorporate ROTC as a condition of holding the land. The beginning of the end of that started in ‘61 with the screaming children of Berkeley throwing that off, even when there wasn’t a nasty war to go to. Then it spread.
Now they are openly hostile to the Americans ourselves. They give preference to “first generation” applicants and anyone who isn’t White in general. A lawsuit on that was filed yet again just yesterday. They ignored the SCOTUS ruling on AA.
So take the dirt back. Turn it into barracks. If Nero Newsom and Burnout Bass want to keep turning out Bolshevik Cadres, let them build up new camps out in the sticks...like Indio.
We can chip away, but as long as the schools are flooded with unprepared and only marginally able students, it’ll continue to be a fraudulent business.
Much needed.
The point of these proposals isn’t to punish universities but to improve quality and reduce costs.
Other than the service academies like West Point, the Federal government should have zero involvement in higher education. Except for schools for the children of military parents, the Federal government should not be involved with K-12 education.
End the mandate that all elective courses must be liberal woke classes. Usually the options are all bad.
Ban college sports! Make the kids study! Now watch the flames!!!
It’s simple. Defund. Why are any federal government funds needed at all? They can be anything they want. Teach whatever they want. On their own dime.
Not a penny. No matter how Trumpy or conservative or Christian they may be.
While I was teaching, Shell Oil was giving the College of Business a grant for entrepreneurial programs. Shell found out that the “administration fee” was 50% of the grant total. They told the university to reduce this to 25%, which still seems generous to me, and the university said No!. Shell threatened to withhold the grant money and still the university wouldn’t budge. Shell withdrew the grant.
How stupid can you be? They lost about $120,000 in grant money trying to argue it takes $60,000 to track the money. Bullcrap! Ten minutes to write some debit/credit entries and your done. Totally bureaucratic stupidity!
Problem solved.
WTH? What this writer wants is big government.
Colleges only ask for SAT scores and class ranks if you apply as a FRESHMAN.
Why? Bragging rights. The average SAT score of a college's FRESHMAN class counts toward its ranking.
Most colleges don't even ask for an SAT score if you TRANSFER from another college, such as a community college.
Many people go to community college first and then transfer to a university.
A fourth general goal to shape the universities into a more American posture: rid them of Chinese influence and infestation.
bump for later
If you want to go to college, go to State U.
Or even better, go to your local community college and learn a trade.
