Wells College in Aurora NY announced that they are closing in May as well.
How many have closed due to the number of Hamas terrorists attending?
Maybe prospective students have learned that instead of getting an education that will help them succeed in the world market they might be getting “educated” about using proper pronouns, why DEI is justified, equity is better than equality, how white students are systemically racists and suffer from “white supremacy” and Capitalism sucks.
Trade schools are far better than college.
I hope all.
I hope more leftist universities follow suit.
I hope Methodists whose churches left the hedonist UM general conference keep your fire burning. Wesley and the early Methodist Evangelical churches were major players in the Holiness Movement of the 1st Great Awakening. If today’s Christians got as bold as those were, our worldly political class wouldn’t stand a chance.
1. Slow decline in our demographics.
2. Less young males attending college.
3. Less Chinese students.
Back in 72, when I graduated from HS, Gonzaga was so cash poor, the GU President sent the officers in ROTC on recruiting trips, to get ROTC scholarship students (like myself) to matriculate at GU.
We were about 5% of the undergrad population, the Army paying full boat for each of us. We certainly took a bit of financial pressure off the Administration. The recruiters did a great job: out of 1000 scholarships awarded every year, they pulled in nearly 3%.
I've never really thought much about the path I would have taken without the scholarship. Most likely, I'd go to a state college, and work summers as a firefighter for Cal Fire. That might have been my career after college...who knows.
My educational experience put my life on a completely different path.
4. Offering less worthwhile courses of study.
That too. Young males are red pilled nowadays. It’s bad for colleges because they won’t get their tuition $$$.
Colleges and universities have too high of an overhead. They will get rid of xs administrators, dumb dei, crt considerations and initiatives, cheerleading, sports scholarships for athletes who will never make money at their sports, fire crappy, psycho professors, high living dorms, etc. If they are smart. The rest will die or be absorbed by those who plan and teach to make students competent.
Did it occur to any of these geniuses that it is self-destructive to seek no profit?
Christian colleges are among the most vulnerable. In some cases they have the least capital reserves, and with the national decline in faith often have trouble attracting applicants. Sad state of affairs, when the secular state-run diploma mills are insulated from such issues.
That number should be 1,000. Then tax endowments.
“They will get rid of xs administrators, dumb dei, crt considerations and initiatives, cheerleading, sports scholarships for athletes who will never make money at their sports, fire crappy, psycho professors, high living dorms, etc. If they are smart”
There is the key word SMART. If we are dealing with boards of trustees and college administrators, that word is like showing a cross dipped in holy water to Dracula.
FREEPER ALERT! Our FReepathon has fallen way, way behind. Please consider donating today.
It’s FEWER young males and FEWER Chinese students.
