Give their jobs to that Starbucks barista with the PhD in it.
“Give their jobs to that Starbucks barista with the PhD in it.”
My suggestion is to eliminate lifetime tenure at any school, college or university supported by taxpayer money. Let them be “at will” employees like the adjunct professors and teaching assistants who carry a significant portion of the teaching load while the tenured senior faculty does “research” and agitates.
Once tenure is eliminated, the governor and state legislature should do its job and fire the higher education administrators who use their jobs to agitate for social causes instead of instructing students.
The cost of higher education continues to grow exponentially, saddling students with huge debt, because of the huge unproductive faculty and administrative overhead. If state universities were run like companies, instead of government subsidized fat farms for aging leftists, they would be low cost and efficient. Plus students would actually leave with useful critical thinking skills instead of exiting as robots programmed to politically correct thought.
