That’s why Joe Biden wants the loans to be paid off. So the college students won’t complain. Gotta keep up the DEI programs at the Universities.
Trump should make this college waste one of his big talking points. I really don’t think anyone who is not directly getting paid would think this was ok
I worked in both public and private schools. The public schools have Principals, Vice Principals, Associate Principals, and on and on. Many private schools have a Principal, the Principal’s Secretary, and every other dime goes into the classroom. Private school teachers perform all kinds of ‘other duties’ and do not mind. It’s about the students, not tenure, retirement, etc.
I recently read in the Wall Street Journal that Stanford University had more administrative staff and faculty than it did students. Specifically, there were 15,750 administrators, 2,288 faculty members, and 16,937 students. The paid help of 18,038 (administrators plus faculty) outnumbered the customers (students) by 1,101. That gave me an idea for a stunning administrative reorganization: give each student a paid concierge—an academic butler, if you will—to help navigate the pain of collegiate living in Palo Alto.
Useless college administrators are not a new development.
Universities are a very important intellectual and propaganda base of the Left/Democrat Party
Even though tuitions have risen faster than health care, pharmaceuticals, certainly energy (all stuff libtards complain about) no one makes a peep about tuition costs.
Just shovel the young idiots out the door, stuffed to the gills with debt.
I was finance director at a private college. For each student there was a commutation of ability to pay compared to a budget of tuition, fees, housing, etc. The difference was then filled with grants and loans and usually there was an unmet need. In spite of this deficit families found a way to pay the bill. When the government came up with another grant or an increase in existing grants or loans, then we reduced the amount we as the college would contribute and the student and family still dealt with the same or similar unmet need. We always managed it so the college usually benefited and not the student and family. I am sure I was not the only one. If you want to control costs, stop shoveling to colleges.
It is nice to go to game day in Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Fayetteville, College Station, etc. Wealthy towns because of the universities. New luxury condos and the like.
Just a question:
Much of this “wealth” is driven by government grants and loans. Lots of useless “fat” in these institutions paid for by FedGov. But the government is $34 trillion in the hole and getting worse quickly as compound interest kicks in.
So what will become of these places when the easy money is gone?
Seriously, would they be a good place to retire or will these universities and towns go bust? (Vandy is the same in this regard as other universities, so it’s not just them)
So have we conservatives yet figured out that EVERY DIME of ‘student aid’ (loans, grants, etc.) goes right into hiring more staff at our esteemed academe? Or are we still working on it?
What do all these administrators do? Compile compliance reports to various government regulators, most likely.
Can’t just say undergraduates. Graduate students are as numerous or even more so than undergraduates at the higher end universities.

The left hasn’t a clue about creating wealth, only consuming it for their purposes. Since the left has been indoctrinating students for many decades who can’t function in the private sector, they have taken over academia and most of the charitable foundations so they can be employed there and spread that money around to the “enlightened”. They are a cancer which will eventually kill their host if not excised.
Anti-white hate pays well.
That is why they do it.
