The universities need to extricate themselves from predatory value extraction, not sure this will happen though.
Being firmly embedded in said system makes the possibility of critique less likely, perhaps unlikely. So there are motivated interests, lots of money to be made (or not). It does not bode well.
Universities have always been about the money and always will be. Historically only privileged people were able to study. There was no financial aid until post WW2 and Johnson expanded financial aid.
Universities serve a gatekeeping function too. Those who cannot make the cut are deemed unworthybof professional careers.
Peoplebaee judged by the endowment of the universities theybattend. The most prestiguous universities have the endowments.
CUNY needs to look at the Berkeley or London University system for self improvement
Berkeley is a major research institute. CUNY doesnt do major rrsearvh norbI am convinced the city or the state would give them money fir thisvresearch. They would rather fund Columbia, Cornell, and NYU.
With that said CUNY is good for going into education or civil service. Or you can do well in CUNY, and go to a top grad school.

Lol. Do you know the reason why college in America was expanded? Do you know about the red scare? Sputnik? Russian kids reading science books at age 5. This is the post world war 2 America that educators feared. College education began to expand during post world war 2 era starting with gi bill and so on, than later with civilians.

The red scare and the Japanese scares are just that. Scares.

You would name your ALMA MATER. But again it's an Ivy, as you love to remind us CUNY grads.
Trust and believe we have other options other than Civil Service and education. Although nothing is wrong with either one.
Yup. Pretty much. Don't get arrested, don't have babies, and finish school. Life will probably turn out OK.
Or not.
