believe it or not ordinary students and ex-students in the universities are starting to ask whether or not these universities are relevant at all. A lot of money is spent in the university, but many students feel the product offereed is garbage. A lot of students end up studying things that they later realize are worthless in that they were not personally enriched and they did not get a leg up in the job market from their university studies. But if you are a marxist professor, then you measure worth differently.

Ain't that the truth.

Still, there is a role for scholarship. I just think it's time for a little perspective and balance. Not every course has to tilt so far left that it leaves those of us on the "right" side of the boat high and dry.
