Perhaps underutilized office buildings in major cities could be made into universities.

The cost of a “college education” has ballooned higher and faster than any other part of the economy in the last 30 years

More than housing, more than health-care, certainly more than food or energy

So WHY aren’t shitlibs out protesting this? Oh - because they own this debt-fed scam.

I saw this as a grad student at a major U, back in the 70s.

I saw this as a manager of contracts with universities.

And, it's not just colleges and Univs. So much of our educational system is loaded with layers of "administrators" with fake or useless positions, great salaries and bennies, and a gold plated retirement.

Comprehensive, scrupulous and thoroughly fair audits might be difficult, but they would be highly worth the effort.

DEI is systemic racism.

They could cut the cost of tuition in half just by cutting the number of staff in half. Even more if the reduced the positions to about one third their size.

Bureaucracies are like cancer, they metastasize very quickly ............

The Jerry Lewis original Nutty Professor had a scene of the university president Dr. Mortimer S. Warfield (Del Moore) shuffling a pile of papers on his desk from right to left, then forward, then back and to the right with nothing actually getting done.

True to life (now on a laptop).

It is a sustainable model as long as the government funds it.

When you go to university in most countries it’s in an office building downtown.

No expansive gardens, football fields, basketball courts, saunas, luxury apartments, etc.

You want that other stuff you can join a sports club, visit a park or go to a spa.

(I’ve gone to college overseas)

How much do these over abundant grifting administrators charge the students in tuition costs after collecting from Obama’s federal student loan program

That’s the issue here

Over $174,000 per year?

Someone tell AOC she can quit complaining and go ‘work’ for a university

No wonder my kid’s tuition was so high there.
