Universities are a huge waste of money now, especially in the non-technical disciplines.
Better start viewing the world through an entirely different prism.
It’s evolving at warp speed.
RE: Universities are a huge waste of money now, especially in the non-technical disciplines.
Many Antifa members were educated at our universities.
Peak Brick and Mortar Higher Edumacation.
Or drive a sanitation truck.
Oh, How I hate, Ohio State [it's a know nothing Party School] is NOT a Foosball PH?
Comma placement [or lack thereof] can make a Yuge difference in understanding to meaning of English.
Just sayin’...
[[[Universities are a huge waste of money now, especially in the non-technical disciplines.]]]
Have an acquaintance that blew through almost 300K for her daughter’s 4 year degree at Syracuse. I forgot what the degree (studies) was in but I remember saying to myself that it was a bullsh** degree. Nothing in the professions or engineering/technical for sure.
Nothing is worth that kind of money otherwise. Going to graduate school now. They’ll be into it for half a mil by the time its done with. Unbelievable.
Defund these Marxist education camps.
Even a third tier University like Ole Miss will feel like the pinch from no college football this year
It’s a 5-dimensional move alright, but not by President Trump.
It’s been said before, and bears repeating, that the colleges and universities are business entities, which need to balance their budgets.
Even state supported colleges are discrete business entities, which will likely see less state aid, and thus have trouble balancing their budgets.
It’s true. And as manufacturing returns we’re going to need a lot more technically trained people. Not just engineers but material scientists, quality assurance, technicians, maintenance, and yes, even bean counters!
But not many gender studiers or English majors. Sorry, Garrison Keillor...
Mutt, you wouldn’t be a supporter of that university in Starkville, Mississippi, now would you ?
Just takin’ a wild guess.....
The true economic fundamentals of college are not sustainable. Costs soar but productivity never increases.
Warren Buffett said something like, when hard times hit you soon realize what companies have been swimming naked. Same goes for Universities now.
Yes, the death spiral has started. Not for Harvard. Not for Princeton. They will survive but they will lose half their endowment. Most of the other private colleges will close.
Um, Steven - you need to get out of the house more. THE Ohio State is one of premier football colleges in the country.
Ole Miss is transitioning from a Plantation school to a Marxist indoctrination center.
Don’t forget. Every good indoctrination center ( aka university ) has to have multiple layers of needless bureaucracy, such as “ diversity “ czars.
Flush that money right down the commode.
