Nope, you see, Mark Levine told all a bunch of angry clowns that Universities are where all this evil liberal thought comes from, so they have their marching orders to go around the internet saying stupid stuff about them They then go to bed at night having been worthless dupes. Quite an existence.

How many people posting these threads are dopes who have never been subjected to liberal professors or anything beyond 12th grade, yet think they have some idea what the hell really goes on at these Universities that there brilliant minds think should be shut down?
Poetry isn't an education. It's a way to extend high school as long as possible. Real degrees require extensive credit hours and work which takes away any free time to protest and cry.

Except taxpayers pay for it and churn out emotional liberals that can't handle loss and riot and all that...

They need to be exposed to alternative ideas, free speech to challenge their backward liberal views early on. That way when a conservative wins election, they won't be reduced to handling play-doh in safe spaces in order to process it.

Think so?

Tell me, did the Founding Fathers who attended universities and studied (and even wrote) poetry meet your personal academic standards?

James Madison

John Adams

John Jay

Thomas Jefferson

They seemed to have time for poetry and protest.

I predict that a Trumptard will tell me that things are different now in 3, 2, 1...

Things are different now. Nobody needed play dough after an election loss back then.

Once again the solution might be funding.
Universities that diversify the faculty get funded and those that don't, don't get funded. There are those that have Billions in endowments and some of those get the biggest piece of the government pie in funding. Let them fund it from endowments and they will but many might not. Worth a shot.

The federal government gave out more than $40 billion for research and development (R&D) to universities across the country in fiscal 2011. Universities depend heavily on federal funding, with many of the top programs relying on the government for more than 60% of their R&D budgets.
