The left instinctively sides with evil. Again.
I regard most degrees as worthless. In ranking, journalism is below “studies”, as is amply demonstrated by reading the drivel hurled by our modern media. STEM is holding on, but ‘climate research’ demonstrates that the ‘tards are making inroads there also.
If VDH ever wrote anything hopeful or discussed solutions rather than problems, I would first wonder whether it wasn’t the Bee.
The establishment corrupted the universities with money. Funding studies that produced only the desired outcome and student loans.
It was first, shading the results on the studies and then mandating the results. Every study produced results that said we needed more government control. Ditto, student loads with the terms. They were slippery slopes that trapped the universities in over time.
We all do.
First, the professors set the bar. No one but.
So, it's like Boomers griping about younger generations: Who was it who parented them? Who failed to challenge the students? Who created 'studies' departments? Look in the mirror VDH, and all the kolleje kommies. It was the faculties who made universities into clown shows. Not the students.
Fixes for colleges: Harder core curricula, expel people who can't do the work. Even at state schools, students were allowed to drift in and out as if it was their right to attend. It should not be. Every lazy, troublemaking 'studies' student makes it harder for serious ones to get through.
So colleges everywhere need to stop giving away degrees and tighten up the college experience.

VDH is hitting the foreign student aspect of the pro Hamas mobs hard. A good reform would be to eliminate foreign student visas.

Good summary of what went on viewed from the surface of media reports, and approximately how students from the two sides said they viewed it.
Missing from the documentary was more illumination of the role of outside protesters, paid insurgents and their planning and coordination with Hamas itself or lack thereof, and the true ignorance of many in the student body.
Also missing: a credible statistic about the number of anti-American, documented anti-semitic, or anti-conservative faculty at the most disrupted universities. It would also be instructive to know the percentage of foreign muslim students at each university in question, and the anount of funding each uni received from middle eastern or Amerian islamic sources.
The problem with the university administrations is that they have conflated rioting, noise pollution during classes and finals, and encampments that the city Health Department surely should have condemned with “peaceful protest.” Contrast the dignity of the black marchers for Civil Rights in the 1950s, the beatings they endured, and their patience in pressing for full rights of citizenship (not to be confused with today’s commie-led social disorder among their underclass).
