Old guy and academic here. Academia did it to themselves.

Academia has been the front lines of identity politics / Marxism, and it will hopefully be the first to crumble. Next up: Silicon Valley please.

Silicon Valley is coming, especially with moves like the H1B order.

That's only the natural progression of liberalism, all of the smart people with real degrees go and get real jobs while the only ones brainwashed liberals can get with their worthless education is in education.

Look at the riots. Where do you think the young people are being indoctrinated at?

Too greedy.

They know federal loans are backed by the government so they prey on young high school kids and tell them college is the only way they can make money.

So they get the degree, get 50k in debt, and work a job that barely covers rent and loan payments.

Colleges dont care because if you default on your loans, its backed by the federal government. So they still get their money and continue preying on the young.

Not to mention, if an individual declares bankruptcy, even if they didn’t earn a degree, they still have to pay their student loans! Total double standard.

Liberal universities became even more liberal over the years, which was bad enough. More recently they've instituted Marxist policies and educational programs, and research based on narrative rather than science. The result is we're turning out graduates with ridiculous debt who can't survive independent of the narrative or the politics.

Ironically, the first "grown up" book I ever read was "All Things Bright and Beautiful".
