State money shouldn't support these worthless programs. You should be able to attend a state school and pay less if you actually study something useful. There is no place for these useless disciplines in the public pocketbook.
Also, we are seeing major troublemakers from these programs. Defund them!
The amount of student loan debt is shocking and the quality of service that these "grads" produce has degraded to the point of ridiculousness.
It's called education for dummies. Take these courses, we"ll put you through regardless of how well you do.
Then when you are done, you are obligated to protest in the street, on message boards, social media websites against any and all conservative causes. You must use your "education" as a one up and attack the conservatives as uneducated because they didn't take your dummy course.

What's a useless discipline? And who gets to decide that a useless discipline is? An anonymous poster on CD? Nice try.
I want post high school education radically reformed.
Normal college should be every community college offers the top 10 or so as measured by employER demand bachelors degrees. IE acct, ME, nursing, mgt, teacher... The degrees should all read "University of [State]"
Also said degree progresses from AS at say 80 semester hours to BS at say 128 semester hours. This way if life happens and interrupts in the late 3rd to 4th year, the student still has the AS at least and can go on toward the BS at a later date.
Meh. There have been "basket weaving" majors for a long time. Many students don't look at an education as an opportunity to prepare themselves for a profession in the adult world, rather as a 4 year vacation and party-and run up a huge debt load. As such, low demand majors are ideal for them. And let's face it, if it weren't for these courses, most of those students wouldn't be in college since they wouldn't be accepted in more demanding majors.

100% not joking but some of the niche majors are essentially havens for athletes to keep them eligible and graduate them so the school keeps their scholarship levels from the NCAA.
I’m more concerned that colleges/universities are acting as farm teams for the NFL and the NBA. But obviously I’m in a minority here, and voters ultimately get to decide.
So if your state university offers curricula you don’t like, you have every right to get your butt in gear about it, and recruit others to your cause. Go for it.
Yeah. They figure the less people know, the easier it is to fit a red MAGA hat on top of their already empty heads.

The only thing that needs reforming is your ridiculous idea.

Sorry that you didn’t get to go to school.
