It is good that people are waking up to the ‘value’ proposition of these ivory towers.

Maybe bringing the focus back into line with actual degree requirements for the jobs these young heads of mush desire is finally going to come full circle.

I know when I returned to college in the early 2000’s, I avoided my local state college because they had already started requiring classes in ‘urban studies’ and ‘ the black experience.’ Classes that held nothing to do with my degree ambitions.
