In my mind’s eye, I see a delicious vision of a multitude of Professors trying unsuccessfully to get any kind of job then can get — overqualified....no skill——you’re an asshole-—
Why have a physics class from your local state university's physics professor who resents his research time being consumed by teaching an undergrad class when you can get today's version of Feynman? But that should drive the per student price down.
MEDICAL STUDENTS at several universities do not receive grades, and in those schools it's almost impossible to fail, so it isn't just online learning that has this problem. The solution, IMHO, is exit testing. There need to be specific tests (NOT government based) that determine whether or not you've mastered the material - whether form online learning or a bricks and mortar university.
To put this into a relevant perspective, consider the Bar Exam as a test of whether or not your law education has made you competent as an attorney. Hillary, after graduating from one of the ridiculously and pathetically overacted law schools (Yale in this intstance) failed the Washington DC bar exam. People from much ‘lesser’ law schools, per pedigree, passed the exam that year. What does that tell you about the US higher education system? Think about it.
Yet another positive consequence of the epidemic.
Football team, QB1 went SJW to remove founder statue. School with strong traditions being challenged absent any university leadership.
Dear Fellow Conservatives, never let a crisis go to waste. It’s time for us to push harder against what “higher ed” has become, an expensive place to indoctrinate American students against their own country. We should call and write our rep.s about DIVERSITY OF VIEWPOINT in higher ed. as we’re the one’s financing much of it. Demand more Conservatives in our colleges!
“People from much ‘lesser’ law schools, per pedigree, passed the exam that year. What does that tell you about the US higher education system? Think about it.”
One of the dullest intellects I ever encountered got a PhD in psychology from CU Boulder. What a dumbass. And that was back in the 1970s.
Thing is, almost all the classes I took required one to demonstrate a command of the material. Even archery and fencing. The proof of that system, I think, is reflected in the scores I got on the GRE and the LSAT.
I don’t understand? A college kid is not at risk of dying from COVID-19.
Yes. It’s much harder to export plumbing and HVAC jobs overseas, although the leftards will try.
Oh, wait a minute. They already have. Never mind.
Hopefully all those progressive professors can learn how to code or at least work a cash register or expresso machine.
First, Get rid of every program, professor, employee, class, and office with the word “Studies” or “diversity” in it. That should knock off 1/3 of expenses.
This article actually seems to get it.
just learned that our local poorly paid teachers make $100,000 a yr with seniority....can only imagine what these professors make....and for what?.....give the engineering professors, medical doctors, etc their due...but school of education?..sociolgy?...insane...
I think a lot of colleges will drop football....football of all the sports is the big spender, even though the bigger schools can bring money in as well....
Colleges are the head of the leftist snake. Shut them all down, put Americans in charge, fire the commies, and open them back up to teach sense rather than nonsense.
The footsoldiers of the Left in Academia didn't all while screaming like Karens to #KeepItShutDown while they were getting their paychecks from University.
That's gonna dry up like the morning dew, darlin's.
Woohoo!
