We need to sever the connection between Government money and academia. We also need to let market forces destroy that cadre of left wing agents. For those people who can learn with online videos, they should be able to receive credit.
This isn't rocket science. We can crank out diplomas with more efficiency and we don't have to pay left wing cranks who hate us!
End in state tuition for illegal immigrants, even if brought here as babies.
Apply admission standards. It is abominable to see someone spending two years taking remedial courses while racking up unbankruptable debt learning what they should have learned in high school but lack the ability to learn.
End diversity and inclusion projects. No more racial quotas, no more women’s studies or black students department. This just leads to overpaid administrators and assistants to criticizes how things are done.
Cut out the Title 1-10 funding, which includes mandates for as many women’s sports no matter how unwatched as men’s sports.
No more race based scholarships except from private sources. The costs for whites and Asians go up to subsidize minorities. Everyone pays the same price to enter, barring a few need based cases.
Cut back on the facilities. Either have cheap 2 kids in a minimal dorm room or let people rent private apartments off campus. Don’t use tuition funds to build massive apartments where each student gets a private bedroom and bathroom and shared living area and kitchen with two and three other people. It drives up the cost of tuition for all, sucks up boarding funds that could be better used by the private sector and gets kids used to a higher standard of living than what many could afford on their own.
Cut back on international student admissions, and no more scholarships, work studies and other benefits for international students. I blew up at an alumni meeting where they said decided to give work-study positions and the subsequent tuition discounts to international students. In short, Americans had to pay higher tuition to give the international students the discounts, and then Americans were displaced for work study positions that could have led to jobs after graduation.
Apply lean management principles to administration. Cut it back to 1975 ratios. In 1975, colleges employed one administrator for every 84 students and one professional staffer—admissions officers and the like—for every fifty students. By 2005, the administrator-to-student ratio had dropped to one administrator for every 68 students while the ratio of professional staffers had dropped to one for every 21 students.
