Defund the universities?

How would that be done now that most of their donations come from brainwashed graduates who are acolytes of Wokedom?

Tax their endowments and the land they are on. Make donations taxable and their funds will dry up. Eff em.

They are being funded by federally guaranteed educational loans given too freely and forgiven illegally, which allows the universities to charge rates that would be considered abusive and ridiculous in almost any other industry.

A three hour class in English 101, one semester of three hours a week, for 100 students at $500 an hour? That’s $150,000 for that simple class alone. Insane. But the feds fund it.

Just stop with the Federal loans and loan guarantees. Leave it to the market to decided who is a good risk for a college loan and who isn’t.

I WORKED to pay for college, lived at home, commuted 20 miles each way. So did quite a few of my classmates. No, it wasn’t MIT or even BU, but I got the tools to continue teaching myself as needed throughout my somewhat checkered career. At 77 I’m still doing it.

I’m not sure where you’re getting your information.

For example, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia spent $2,690,874,828 in FY 2022. See document numbered page 21 here:

I don’t know about you, but in my world, $2.7 billion does NOT round to zero!
