I believe a small college could survive and even thrive if it dispensed with the fooforah and focused on high academic excellence. I know they all say they do, but with junk like Womens' Studies, Urban Planning, European Literature, and other useless options cluttering the curriculum, the useful stuff gets lost in the overhead.

Offer half a dozen relevant majors: hard sciences and/or engineering. Make them tough. Make them rigorous. Make the graduates highly prized and superb at what they're taught. Let the liberal arts wastelands pick up the slackers; appeal to the student who wants a real education and a real intellectual challenge.

You'd make it.

Yep. Someone should buy it and turn it into a business/IT school. Nothing but computer code and accounting.
