Today, the main accomplishment of the institution of 'higher learning' is brainwashing students in Marxism rather than the Constitution and the history of the United States.

Most 'graduates' have such poor reading and comprehensive skills as to be unemployable.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

True for many recent grads.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Nice to see he is going after Big Academia.

—and that is especially true in the UW-Madistan—

There is so much wrong with the federal government and Walker would not be afraid to try to right these wrongs.

Go ahead and tear Walker down. It’s what we do it seem.

When you consider the millions and more millions ripped from the hard working families of America, in addition to the massive debt and hardships of trying pay off massive student loans after graduation what can one think? Add to that countless “graduates” unqualified to hold any sort of productive employment.
What I think is that the “GOT TO GO TO COLLEGE AT ANY COST” crowd makes Bernie Madoff (sp?) look like a stand-on-the-corner con man. In order words...a 2 bit piker.

It would be interesting if the state were to run some statistics, comparing the income of people who graduated three years ago (or at least those who are still in the state) with what majors they had, and whose classes they took.

Departments and professors associated with low-income graduates get cut.

I am totally in awe of this man. He is correct in citing courage as his most potent asset. At age 65, I have never actively campaigned. I will do everything I can to promote the candidacy of Scott Walker. We may not see another one like him for a long time.

Another thing I would like to see, would be that anybody who has taught science/math classes at the college or community college level for three years, automatically gets handed a teaching certificate qualifying him to teach high school math or science.

Universities across the US are in an overinflated bubble right now, and when it bursts, it is going to be “ugly on a stick”. So I would strongly suggest that Republicans trying to get a handle on it be extra careful in guiding the collapse.

They need to tailor the cuts to start with frivolous degrees, then move to frivolous courses; while at the same time strongly slashing bloated administrations and ridiculous pensions.

Walker had great success against the government service unions, but the academic situation is much, much worse, and at a far larger scale.
