I’ve read many universities will be offering courses next studying Taylor Swift’s music and career.
How can you not succeed in the real world without this knowledge?
Ship each university 140 bus loads of illegals and tell the university “you have some new students”
Let Universities teach whatever they want...with their own money. There’s no reason taxpayers should fund the garbage that’s going on today.
Off topic - but I sort of like the UK approach to higher education. First students can drop out of school at 16. Right there would solve a lot of discipline problems in our schools.
Next not every one is allowed to go to college. You must take higher classes in preparation and then take test to get in.
The idea that every student should get a degree is wrong.
Who are the authors kidding? The Ivory Tower has been the darling incubator of the Left for more than a century. This attack on the Ivory Tower is only because some of the monsters from Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory turned on Dr. Frankenstein.
Bkmk
People don’t like what universities are peddling but they keep paying to send their kids. Saving for college for 20 years means they are in deep and not willing to turn around.
>>> The support our colleges and universities have always taken for granted has sharply eroded and will continue to do so unless the public can be convinced that our higher-education system is working in their interest.<<<
THIS IS LONG OVERDUE. Should have started in the 60s.
This particular facet of the discussion, however, is one of the few actually available to non-members of faculty and administration, funding. Public funding has for far too long been regarded as free money taken by force of state from the very taxpayers whose access to the institution has been sharply curtailed and interests held in contempt by the recipients of this largesse. What we see from far too many administrations is the grins of greedy children convinced that the system is a result of their own cleverness instead of the patient generosity of their sources. "Hey hey, ho ho, western culture's gotta go" is seldom appended by the truth, "but first we demand free tuition."
The scam is fraying one seam at a time by now. When it becomes clear to graduates that placing the load on taxpayers for the inimitable value they receive from matriculants shows its less attractive face when they become the taxpayers themselves we see a growing grumble of dissatisfaction. Too late, in most cases.
