Freshman starting in the fall, have no certainty the school will be around for four years.
There’s a bubble. So perhaps there needs to be a 50% decrease in enrollment. And they need to reduce the costs and get rid of the woke crap. We need to eliminate student loans.
How is Arizona of Phoenix doing, because it has a nationwide correspondence program for many, or most, of its courses?
Problem?
It’s a DIE Dividend!
Glad to hear this. You can get what used to be a college education by watching youtube videos.
“He changed his major from art to business”
A freakin’ genius.....
Oh boo hoo. No more young Americans to turn into America hating little Lords of The Flies?
Too bad. So sad.
We have reached peak “higher” education.
“Last college I presided over things were slightly different. I was flat on my back. But it wasn't long before we all put our noses to the grindstone and I was flat on my back again!’’.
“Let me remind you this college was here before you came, it'll be here before you go!’’. Grouch Marx, aka “Professor Wagstaff, “Horse Feathers’’.
It is the taxpayers that are flecked, not th students. The student loan debt is a democrat lie to do more of the same.
If you want to be in a profession that requires graduate and post graduate work, make over six figures, then complain that the taxpayer making far less should be forced to pay your bill… it’s simply another federal dollar scheme just like healthcare.
I get sick of hearing the ads saying… I only pay 50 dollars a month for comprehensive health insurance… that is 10 of what the working class pays… if you’re lucky.
good, what a scam they pulled on all of us
“We need to eliminate student loans.”
That is the first response to the cost of higher ed (HE) but I don’t think that would be the best solution. Lack of funds for students will soon restrict the enrollment to kids who come from better established families. That would soon create a sharp divide in our society in educational level.
The three components of the problem are the students, HE, and access to financing(family, banks, gubmint, etc). Of these only HE has no skin in the game. HE will not provide educational services until it is paid. Where that money comes from is of no concern to HE. Also HE has no responsibility regarding the product they turn out. If the student graduates with a worthless degree and cannot pay off their student loans, HE is not held responsible in any way.
A possible solution is to require HE to shoulder a significant part of the financial burden and to make repayment of that portion align with the repayment ability of the graduate. This will force HE to emphasize degree plans that produce graduates that can pay back their loans. A welcome side effect will be the reduction in worthless ‘studies’ programs.
I can explain why. Too many worthless courses of study. Too many foolish excuses for professors and TAs, earning too much money. Top heavy administrations, earning too much money. Get practical. Teach things people need to know. Nursing, engineering, pre-med, accounting. Other than that, pretty worthless. J school? What a joke.
Feel-good story of the day!
Our academy must be gutted of its cultural marxists and thoroughly remodeled around Christian sound-mind principles.
It’s too bad but they did it to themselves, with the help of moneymoneymoney force-pumped into the academy by the deep state.
>> J school? What a joke.
E-school? Also an evil, propagandizing joke.

Oh most definitely.
I worked at a Univ. Parents were getting the idea when, during the ‘pandemic’, tuition remained the same...even though their kid never sat down in front of a professor. (A professor, by the way, who’s union assured that raises were still given).
Any questions?
Oh. Wait. No way we'll get a white boy to put a roof on a house in summer.
Never mind.
