The Liberal Arts faculties are teaching generally useless subjects, and these branches of the Universities should simply be closed down.

As for the faculties in Science, Engineering, Medicine, etc, a high proportion of them are immigrants and can find jobs in more congenial environments overseas.

Yeah, but they won't close as long as there's financial aid in the form of Fed money used by the underqualified to get a piece of paper in the diploma-mill branches of better universities.

Just the same way guv-subsidized medical destroyed the medical industry, so too has the "free money" destroyed academe.

No way out: we reached critical mass for meltdown a long time ago.

If you mean that literature, history, philosophy, etc. are currently being taught badly by many politically-indoctrinated fools, that's one thing. But if you mean that the subjects themselves are useless and should be closed down, I would consider that one of the most outrageously uneducated -- and useless -- remarks I've heard in my lifetime.
