They should not be saved from themselves. They destroyed the American mind so it is poetic justice that they should face collapse by the very beasts they’ve created.

Thoughtful analysis. Result of indiscriminate spending on colleges by the governmemt, oh wait, the taxpayers. More money, no accountability for results. What could possibly go wrong?
Suggested alternative: no more governmemt aid/loans/grants. Universities, not taxpayers, fund their students (hold the loans) and get paid back by their students, including all those who do not finish their degrees. That might incentivise the schools/students to have a business plan.
Also suggest ending tax breaks for colleges and universities, income, property, payroll.
It is time the ‘scholars’ got back to their roots. Look into history at what the professional idler class of people lived as and bring them back to that.
Overhaul the endowment system. No longer can an institution sit on billions of dollars and still benefit from taxpayer largesse.
Any university that has endowments should be forced to use that cushion of money to fund their anti-civilization studies instead of taxpayer money.
Let the people who give to these institutions pay for this crap and see how long that lasts.
The noisy and obnoxious members of a university’s student body are the ones who get the headlines and news coverage. Fortunately, this is a fairly small minority of the actual student body. In my experience, most students are after a degree only because employers want them to have a degree, or because grad school generally requires a bachelor’s degree.
A lot of high school students are now realizing that borrowing $200k for a $50k a year job is just financially stupid. Yes, that piece of paper is still important to a lot of employers, but more and more students are getting their general education at a community college and then finishing their last two years at a four year university. As one person told me, “they ask where you got your degree, but not where you started post-high school education.”
One needs to look at the mainstream media with a jaundiced eye. The current protests on university campuses are generally a few hundred people at most; many are not even students and these universities have thousands of undergraduate students.
The only reason they are even still in business is because of the federally-guaranteed student loan program. NO WAY anyone could have continued to afford them if not for Uncle Sam and his taxpayer guarantees. And certainly NO WAY that any of these completely useless degrees/professors/classes/majors/departments would have come into being/remained without the influx of money via the government. America has collectively been scammed for many, many decades.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannd that’sa big reason why tuitions went up. Universities an Colleges were so awash in money they went into the real estate business and started buying up houses and property around them and elsewhere. some of these little colleges are corporations worth Billions!
And stop using my tax dollars to pay for sports complexes!!!!!
Once the Bolsheviks are done with the graduates, they’ll kill them all anyway.
esad, sand-*******
Tax payer funded student loans granted the universities a a license to steal!
