Oberline Review ^ | September 8, 2017 | Sydney Allen and Alexis Dill

Oberlin College is looking at a $5 million deficit heading into the 2017–18 academic year due to an unexpected drop in admissions. This not only strains budgets for the upcoming fiscal year, but also points toward a much larger budgetary issue that has been brewing under the surface for years. Newly-elected Chair of the Board of Trustees Chris Canavan, OC ’84, announced the news in an email to faculty and staff June 14. The email, leaked to the Review by anonymous sources, was sent just a few weeks before Canavan officially took office, replacing six-year board member Clyde McGregor, OC ’74.

If I was hiring, any applicant from Oberlin would be immediately scratched off the list without any further consideration.

Same goes for any Ivy League grad. No need to introduce a cancer into the organization.

you’d have to lay off a dozen professors

How about lay off a couple dozen useless administrators instead?

But of course a lot of those are affirmative action hires so that's a no go.

This is white flight at the academic level.

You keep pissing off white people, you're going to keep losing money .

Absolutely!

One of our youngest relatives has the equivalent of two engineering degrees and project management. He started at 50K decades ago and makes excellent money.

Liberal colleges don’t understand economics. Cut salaries, cut positions, cut unnecessary classes which don’t help students set up career. Time honored ways to deal with reduced income.

They are the ones who send out the ‘community survey’ and it gets returned to the psychology department.

That’s right, the psychology department! I know, because I live in a city that received one of these glorified community surveys. They make it all sound like a legal, government, authority thing and it isn’t!

The people/professors that work there are truly dangerous, dangerous people.

Michelle Malkin graduated from Oberlin.

...graduated in 1988.

A lot of water's gone under that bridge since then.

<>There is now a third party, an American First party, and its head is the president of the United States<>

Hillary, Obama, their senior advisers arrive in DC upper-middle class. Despite producing nothing, no product, no service other than impoverishing the country, when they left, they were in the 1%. Pure plunder.

Donald Trump just wants the enduring thanks of a grateful nation. Donald Trump's Quest for Fame.
