The universities did this to themselves. I have no sympathy.

JUST IN: The frat boys who held up the American flag at UNC and told a pro-Palestine protester to lose some weight have had $270,000 raised for them to throw a rager.
Epic 🇺🇸
In just one day, the boys are narrowing in on $300,000 and have even received a $10,000 donation from billionaire Bill Ackman.
“We are overwhelmed by you glorious, Patriotic Americans who value good beer and great times. We are in contact with multiple leaders from fraternities whose members helped defend the flag, including Alpha Epsilon Pi and others, in addition to Pi Kappa Psi,” an update on the page read.
Well deserved.

It seems most everything in society has been trashed by the Liberal Marxist. Their destruction and attempted redo/rewrite of ‘normal’ is largely complete. How this era will be recorded in history should be interesting and will any of the old cherished traditions remain?
Why should they. Time to ELIMINATE them, the admin AND the students. I hope the graduates NEVER get a job.
They might improve if all the broke graduates sue for refunds.
Yes, switch to live rounds and body bags.
Strong stupid deserves stinging strong medicine

40 years ago, my community college courses were more rigorous than when I went to University. Even my Master Course 12 years ago wasn't as as tough as community college.
The best career path is to avoid college, avoid the indoctrination, avoid the debt.
Our society needs to rethink college and stop believing that people must be dumb if they didn’t graduate with a degree. It should not be a requirement for a job.
On The Job training is superior.
It’s possible that engineering and medicine might require study at a university. But those are exceptions.
In my opinion, college is what stupid people do when they’re 18. On-going informal education at the community level makes more sense. If you like Russian literature, find people around you or on-line who want to talk about it. Make it a hobby. Build a network of like-minded people. Do It Yourself.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
These "students" have all the prestige they will ever need - they are your future rulers.
"From the inside, the majority of us are reasonable, but cowards. Most are liberal, but not crazy. And when you get them away from campus and drinks are flowing, they'll be the first to agree with you on the Marxist nonsense.
Nevertheless, higher ed administration is now dominated by white women who are very, very progressive and who are filled with white guilt. (I never said this, I'll deny if you say I did. lol)
When people think of admin, they only focus on the President's office, but the majority of decisions are made at the Dean's level, where white women are dominating. And these women love to bring in DEI experts because they love to show how they are advocates/allies. Oh, they are obsessed with everything gay, to the point that they likely have a transgender or nonbinary child, it's super common.
To make matters worse, the universities have promoted diversity within STEM and in Business and Law through hires of DEI officers and faculty who teach sociological courses that are critical of whatever STEM field is at issue. So now, you can't even avoid those "critical" propagandists in the medical school. They are everywhere.
That's why I applauded DeSantis when he passed that bill. Nobody needs DEI officers. And they are paid so high.
Fortunately, Southern schools are not completely lost and our students are far more grounded than those up north. But we are safe (for now) because of our students, not our faculty. That's why other states are starting to move in Florida's direction with regard to DEI. And God bless them."
Hmmm, when the left wing idiots finally blow up some colleges, we might consider rewarding them for removing parts of our civilization that would best be removed.
And the plagiarism many professors and administrators have been found to engage in is massive and only a miniscule amount of it has been exposed.

“Fewer applicants, higher costs, impoverished students, collapsing standards, and increasingly politicized and mediocre faculty reflect a collapse of the university system.”
DEI at work!
Iran wants them all. We should send them and then pull their citizenship after they enroll in the Iranian univerities;)
Cancel their citizenship, but never cancel their debt so we can keep them on the no-fly list and make them outlaws when they visit their in-laws;)
My niece is graduating from high school in a few weeks and has decided to attend technical school to learn welding. I applaud her decision.
Can they be saved?
NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!
The headline asks “Can the Current Universities be Saved?”
The correct response is, “Why?”
There is nothing productive or redeeming about them anymore.
These brainwashing “camps” are no longer a gateway to success or happiness in life for America’s youth.
Universities are now about as useful as car theft rings or mobs of looters.
Today’s American universities are a monumental waste of billions of dollars and a direct threat to the survival of the USA.
Destroy the communist universities - Save America !
“Victor Davis Hanson: Can The Current Universities Be Saved?”
hopefully not ...
