We have allowed the elitist Universities to build their own agendas at the risk of failing to provide an education to students.

Every professor at one of these no-think tanks should be required to answer a question from a potential student in his/her class: "When I finish your course, what will I be able to take with me and use?"

Let's see:

Women's Studies class: "We will show you how to deconstruct the gender constructs of the patriarchy."

Literary Studies class: "We will show you how to deconstruct the linguistic constructs of the white male canon."

Black Studies class: "We will show you how to deconstruct the racial constructs of white privilege."

Environmental Studies class: "We will show you how to deconstruct the power constructs of corporate hegemony."

Student: "Yeah, but will any of this help me get a job."

Answer: "Yes, but only in academia, where you will be required to perpetuate the foisting of the deconstruction of constructs project upon impressionable, unsuspecting students."

Did I miss anything?
