Governor Scott was a businessman and had no political experience before he was elected as our State.
He is doing what most Politicians would not dare do in years past. He is working for the people not the GOP Establshment.
Thank You Governor Scott.

"grants'
I remember one political science professor who talked about the task of securing grants. It seems quite a few of them chase that grant money to get funding for their various screwy papers they want to publish. And yes, the prof in question was an extreme liberal who didn't mind telling the class about her political preferences.

But there isnt one. Instead the government subsidizes the hell out of these markets. At the very least, the subsidies could start being pickier about what they subsidize, letting the market for doctorates in Shakespeare sort themselves out, and if the individual people of the country want to be awash in Shakespeare and vote with their money, well they shall get all the Shakespeare they want. One simple solution: have student loans be dischargeable in bankruptcy, AND have the college be on the hook for at least part of the loan if the student declares bankruptcy.
Suddenly, schools will lose interest in having students enrolling in unproductive majors, and in accepting students who would not benefit from a college education.

Political science was on the plate as a humanity where I went, as was history. I dabbled in history but that soon became, well, history. It became political science, anthropology, earth science, the mushy sciences. But not art. A good drawing artist I never was. Much later I found a forte in music, pardon the pun. But that was without the help of any university.
