1. Close the ethnic studies and LBGTA departments.
2. If the professor is not bringing in ten times their salary in STEM research grants, no more research, just teach.
3. No professor gets more than one TA, and all professors must teach at least 3 courses per semester.
4. End tenure for all professors.
5. No more than 20% of all staff should be support staff, such as groundskeeping, administration and admissions. Some schools have as many non-teachers as teachers, just like public schools.
6. College dorms should not look like posh apartments but more minimal amenities. Colleges should not mandate that freshmen and sophomores live on campus.
7. No more climbing walls, massage parlors, yoga studios and other “amenities” on campus. Colleges are places of learning, not club med.
8. Expand acceptance of CLEP tests, AP exams and online learning courses with comprehension exams.
Funny! I have toured a few private colleges recently - and the student tour guides selling points are always the all-night bowling alleys or the Saunas or the 24 hour burrito shops in the dorms, etc.... They are indeed selling it like some kind of club-med. It might be attractive to the kids doing the tours, but it makes the parents angry!
