It's probably the beginning of the end. Nothing grows forever.

Enrollment and tuition can't keep inflating faster than the economy and society grows. At some point, the benefit to cost ratio doesn't make sense and gets worse. As far as real job skills go, the community colleges have done a better job of producing work-ready graduates. But I seriously doubt this society can stand any more pretentious and pompous ethnic studies and philosophers, gay studies and other bogus disciplines. Most of those employed by the universities and schools candidly admit that it's almost a crime for getting paid for doing what they do. But that doesn't stop them from demanding more each year -- or making threatening sounds as though civilization is going to collapse without them eating at the trough and riding the gravy train. I say we give that money to the truly deserving.

No more handouts for liberal professors who teach nothing but that they're entitled -- as though they've never gotten anything in their life.

I doubt as many students would study useless fields like "Women's Studies" and others if their tuition were not as heavily subsidized by the government. They would go for a degree that they can actually use to repay their student loans as soon as possible.
