Since the opening of the floodgates to admit barely adult, poorly- or unqualified youths into the classrooms, the power structure of the campus has shifted from the faculty and administration into the hands of the student population and their organizers.
This shift began to be evident directly after government-backed tuition loans became available, allowing the colleges to to reap the nation's wealth by lowering the standards of both admissions and the quality of faculty applicants needed to process the magnifed undergraduate population.
This downward trend of quality is due to almost unrestricted access to loans by any child willing to mortgage his/her future to possess a diploma hardly worth the paper on which it is written, from a provider that treats each student as merely another cash cow to be herded by barely experienced instructors ill-fitted to prepare one for a promised meaningful future.
IMO.
This would be called a four-bagger in baseball.
