A ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy day. I’d like to see the whole place fold and the so-called professors find jobs suitable to their abilities - like riding along on the backs of garbage trucks or holding up cardboard signs at intersections saying “will work for food”
It’s rather telling that within about 2 semesters of lowered enrollment the school is that far in the hole. They should be audited, then shut down.
That is an excellent idea.
Higher education has become an embarassment to the nation. I wonder how foreign students feel about the nonsense? When the high paying Jap and Chinese parents stop shelling out six figures to these schools...
‘Evergreen State College faces $2.1M budget shortfall, cites enrollment drop, issues layoff notices’
Perhaps the students should stage a riot and building take-over. It worked so well the last time.
They earned their failure...
Over the past 20 years, undergraduate enrollment has more than doubled to 5500, and the endowment is approaching $250 million. I hardly recognized the campus when I visited last month. What really shocked me were the positive remarks from the students on the quality of the cafeteria food. Lol
My 15YO son and 7YO grandson both want to go there, such was the impression made on them during our visit. My son spent his time there in a basketball camp, lived in a dorm for three days. Gave him a taste of college life. My grandson stayed with us, and joined me while we walked around campus, and followed the goings at camp.
I can't say enough about the Zag players that were there. They were so friendly and approachable, it was a big thrill for him. He took advantage of the time, playing hoops on the floor of the Kennel with a few players.
When camp ended, 8-10 players were there, signing autographs for about two hours...apologies for the thread hijack.
Just another example of government run “education” throwing money away. A degree is only as good as the reputation of the institution that issued it. A degree from Evergreen has long been a worthless document outside of government service.
Time to hit up the wealthy graduates in La-la town.
OK, MIchael Richards may not be the best person to beg from.
How about Macklemore (#1 cultural appropriator (”Rapper”) of the decade? Matt Groening (creator of the Simpsons) ? Sleater-Kinney band members? Steve Thomas (the guy who took over Bob Villa’s This Old House)? And Craig Bartlett, whose “Hey Arnold” and “Dinosaur Train” should be investigated as war crimes?
“Out-of-state students who don’t have Washington residence can expect a one year cost of $37,312.”
Granted, a lot of people are stupid. But, not everyone ins a complete moron.
I’m so sorry to hear they are losing money and laying off people.../s
Maybe they should have thought the social justice warrior thing through a little more carefully.
Shut down that vile indoctrination camp!
Economics at work.
Good luck left wingers. See ya.
Their enrollment could be up 500% if they wanted, just keep handing out scholarships to underqualified and financially incapable students. But they screwed the pooch as parents are finally figuring out that paying tuition for their own kid and several others is theft (not to mention the curriculum).
Univ of VA is about to feel this dynamic: the Washington Compost FOIA’d the admissions office and supposedly exposed admissions favoritism to donors. So UVA admissions are going entirely “neutral” which means they will lose the financial support that has propped up their pyramid scheme.
College tuition is nothing but a tax to fund social engineering, at best, and more likely a Madoff scheme.
This college should be defunded of all state money. It is a disgrace and always has been.
