Yes, but that is probably intentional on their part. They create the disease, then they sell you the “cure”, which is worse than the disease, and which was their real goal all along.
I was a professor at a university with a unionized faculty.
The department of business administration was built by the department of business education faculty who were excellent and gave it a fabulous reputation. The education department faculty were excellent in their knowledge base and teaching skills.
The university decided to go for accreditation which required a percentage of the faculty to have PhD’s in their area of expertise. The DED, Doctorate in Education held by the business education faculty did not count toward accreditation for the school of business administration.
Due to the unionized pay structure, high demand business faculty were locked to the same pay scale of the other departments where there was an excess of available faculty.
The end result was that the only PhD’s the university could hire at the pay they were offering were reject faculty who were denied tenure at several other universities.
End result, the business administration program that had been very successful took a turn for the worse as a result of going for accreditation.
It is very true that many individuals who can’t make it in the real world stay in education for the advanced degrees and are pure academic with no grasp of reality.
President Thomas Jefferson had not only officially indicated that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes, but had also pointed out that the states would need to amend the Constitution to give the feds the specific power to do so.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So Trump and patriots already have a big mess to clean up with repsect to kicking the unconstitutionally big federal government out of intrastate schools.
>>>Here’s my problem with the Left: They often diagnose problems correctly, then come up with “solutions” that make them worse.<<<
The really bad part is that when they make it worse, they just double down on their solution. I mean look at the schools. They keep saying more money and smaller class sizes is the answer. But the schools don’t really improve. And worse, when you compare to say Korea where they have larger class sizes and top notch test scores, they scowl and say that doesn’t prove anything.
So liberals, imho use problems as a means to an end. Which is more statist control. You know, the filthy unwashed masses need to have them be in charge.
Pay to play wasn’t invented by the Clintonistas.
PCI certification works the same way.
This will be just another way for the liberal government workers to have even more control over academia. They already are using Title IX to force colleges to set up kangaroo courts to judge male students accused of sexual assaults, rather than turning the case over to local police. Now liberal bureaucrats will be able to force Christian colleges to be even more compliant with liberal desires.
