Nice to see he is going after Big Academia.
May as well. Maybe one percent of the faculty in the UW system would ever vote for a Republican while to the vast majority of tax paying citizens, including and maybe especially those of us who have seen academia from the inside, it’s about time somebody called them out. And a freeze on tuition just makes it all sweeter. Didn’t Reagan take on the California university system when he was governor?
I didn’t see any mention in the article about the slush funds the universities had. While they were demanding more and more tax money and raising tuition well above the rate of inflation they were also putting away millions in secret accounts. All the while they were crying about how poor they were.
