Of course they do.
More taxpayer money to peddle their Marxism.
Why? The DemocRATS say we need more “immigration reform” to import “skilled workers”. Obviously, the colleges aren’t doing the job.
There is no useless courses at all that can be cut to save money at all. The only solution is more money from state, feds and students. /s
Of course they do.
They need to:
Cut down their administrators by 50%
Have strict admission standards based on prior and ongoing academic standing (which means fewer students).
Sell off some of their assets such as extravagant dorms, student facilities etc that were built in the last 20 years or so partly with public money.
Stick to core academic subjects.

Then and only then should they receive any public monies.
We’ve starved one of the glories of the United States - public higher education - to pour money into a bottomless put: E&S education. This isn’t to say that waste does not exist in public higher education; it does and should be rooted out. But we could swamp E&S education with a tidal wave of money and never see any results. But if money is put into public higher education - as has been shown in many states - the results can be spectacular.

I sure as hell can't.
I was the first in my family to go to college. I didn't need a "model." I developed an interest in science, partly inspired by my teachers in high school, and partly by reading science fiction(!). I knew the only way to become a scientist was to go to college, so I went.
For several years I was a trustee at our local community college. Every year, at graduation, the President of the college would ask those graduates who were the first in their families to go to college to raise their hands. Typically a third to a half of the graduates raised their hands. They didn't have a "model." They had a goal, just as I had, and they knew the road to that goal led through college. (Well over half the nurses in our county had gone through the nursing program at that college.)
I think that's what we need to provide young people: a goal. For some, the road to their goal will go through college. For others, that road may go through a trade school, an apprenticeship, or some other way of learning to do something constructive. The important thing is to let them know what the possibilities are.
Why don't you do something positive like getting rid of USELESS courses such as; 1) anything with “Studies” as part of its name — Transgendered Saxophone Philosophical Studies 101; Social Studies classes with “Relationship” in them — “Relationship of Stone Age Man to LGBT Issues”.
How about a pay cut for anyone making over $100,000? Cap all professors and administration and employee salaries at the same level. As good Marxists you can understand the idea of a living wage for those who didn't build that. Equality should apply to all. Oh, wait?
