If you’re a college grad of a private college get active with your alumni association and put fund raising pressure on the school or get yourself appointed to the advisory board.(less effective if public college\university grad! Pubic colleges/universities see the legislature as an infinite well of funds!)
If you’re in the legislature get on the education committee (If not run or put pressure on your legislator!)
If you have some political power/pull/influence in your state get yourself appointed to governing boards - Board of Regents, Visitors, etc. One of things I have noticed recently is the faculty (Studies Professors!) of the community colleges seem to be the worst offenders, usually the local business community has influence here. In all cases make the point about taxpayer ROI - Return On Investment. Studies grads are a poor ROI in term of starting salaries and future earnings. Poor ROI for the state\community, poor ROI for the school in terms of future alumni contributions. Stick with ROI argument, don’t get political left or right, Republican or Democrat. Make them defend a bad wasteful investment. Be prepared to be immediately called a racist or misogynist. Because in a candid moment leftists will admit those “Studies Programs” exist purely to increase the numbers of women and minorities in the faculty lounges and campus populations. Ask those who oppose you, “You don’t think women and minorities can get STEM degrees, business degrees, traditional liberal arts degrees or trade skills (If your community college also teaches trade skills!)?” Make them defend we have to have these economically wasteful “special degrees” for women and minorities. Don’t get off on any left/right, Christian/non-Christian tangents. Stay on message no matter how provoked! Make them defend bad ROI and their racist views that women and minorities can’t do normal college\university class work or trade skills.
