Our “colleges” and “universities” are nothing more than expensive whorehouses these days. A place for Student Loan Deadbeats to go to party and spend the taxpayers’ money.
Many schools have always had that distinction. Known as "party schools", they've always had low standards with minimal academic expectations.
Even colleges that didn't fit into that category had programs tailor made for slackers. Kids majoring in education, history, psychology, et al. Gravy courses with no purpose other than to enable the kid to avoid the draft.
