There have ALWAYS been Liberal/Leftist Professors at Colleges and Universities.
It's gotten way out of hand with the Snowflake Revolution and the new Thought Police.
The REAL issue is MONEY - quit giving Billions of Dollars to these Universities while they churn out useless degrees and saddle these kids with Huge loans ... and the problem will correct itself.
It's a Transfer of Wealth - not to the students, they are the ones stuck with the bill. Administrations are bloated, the fancy buildings are unnecessary , Salaries and Pensions for the Staff are bloated & a 4 year degree has suddenly inflated to 6 years. The Government took over the entire Loan program to help fund ObamaCare. A lot of this is funding poor schools and the kids can't pay back the loans.
It's a real disaster ..... and the Colleges and Universities are raking in the dough - just from the Loans.
Add all that to the Taxpayer Dough they rake in for the "Grants" to study the Sex Lives of Shrimp and it's a mess.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Arkansas Baptist College got a dire warning from the Education Department last year. So many students had defaulted on their loans that the college was at risk of losing access to federal aid.
Critics say the Education Department’s willingness to help colleges clean up their numbers shows how reluctant it is to shut down the worst-performing colleges. Keeping troubled colleges alive is more controversial than ever, since federal student-loan debt has doubled to $1.2 trillion since 2007.
At 108 four-year colleges, at least half of all students hadn’t paid even $1 of what they owe within three years of leaving college, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of the latest government data. Those colleges got more than $10 billion in federal student loans and grants last year.
But colleges learned how to massage their official loan-default statistics by encouraging former students to suspend their payments, according to government researchers. Because the federal government tracked loan defaults only in the first two years after students left school, colleges weren’t hurt when borrowers postponed payments beyond two years and then walked away from their loans.
The FAT Administrations get FATTER - the Kiddos get the shaft ..... and no job prospects.
It's a great Scam and Transfer of Taxpayer Money to the Universities - many of the them, Private.
I disagree with a lot of what you have said here, but one thing is absolutely true: the cost of tuition has gotten way out of hand. It has far, far outstripped inflation in every other area, and it needs to stop.
