Here’s the deal. For tuition only, it’s $45,000 minimum a year. For room and board, minimum of $14,000. If you toss in health care, beer money, books, gas for your car, etc...it’s another $8,000 minimum.
For kids on some scholarship there? If you are missing classes and fail...your whole scholarship is in jeopardy.
If I were Chancellor....I’d call the instructors and professors into a room and just say tomorrow is a fresh new day, and if no one can do their job...they need to find fresh new work elsewhere....maybe flipping burgers, maybe digging ditches...but it won’t be there. If you got kids who can’t show up for class...give them an application for McDonalds and let them know that we always need more flippers.
Furthermore, for some lucky professors and staff there is partially subsidized University housing. I had a friend who worked in their business office, and he was allowed to build a new house on University owned land. He owned the house, but the University owned the land and he was allowed to use it on a low dollar 99 year lease. But if he ever left, he’d have to sell the house to another employee. Sweet.
McDonald's is replacing the spoiled lazy potty mouthed brats with robots.
