The real problem is that over the last forty years universities have been forced to expand their academic programs to include non scholarly political nonsense such as women’s studies, ethnic studies and LBGT programs. The faculties include shrieking, often illiterate politicos that are not scholars and are disruptive to the true mission of a Western university. Their departments “teach” unqualified students who don’t belong at a university dedicated to education and research.
Those are probably the most profitable departments they have!

Agreed. That’s it in a nutshell.
I went back last year just to visit with one of my old Mechanical Engineering professors. He told me to be thankful that I wasn’t going thru the program today. When I asked why, he showed me that now over 18 semester-hours of SJW courses were required of engineering students!! I asked if the SJW curriculum had 18 semester-hours of Engineering courses. He busted out laughing stating: “No...they’d all flunk them.” The engineering school was forced to add the SJW BS to maintain their accreditation. That’s 18 semester-hours that should be going towards advanced engineering studies instead of some socialist BS.
Libs have taken over universities and like everything libs touch, they destroy. The word “professor” today conjures up some social justice warrior that don’t know crap. It used to command respect, knowledge and teaching ability. Today....not so much.
A young person today would be waaaaay better off going to a technical trade school, learn a good trade, become proficient at it to the point of starting their own business in that trade. Waaaay better off than SJW “basket weaving” or what not.
U of Michigan has a Diversity programs annual budget of $79 million.

Not to mention psychology which, over time, has engendered the “oh, that’s why I/you/they feel/act/respond/think that way” mode of personality over character. This requires very little intellectual vigor and places emotional maturity over ... maturity. Very useful if over a long period of time one/one’s ideology wishes to manipulate a large demographic.
It’s all about the feelz
