Why is Bill Maher being promoted?

He has supported all that he now criticizes. Even worse he still stands with those who promote this nonsense. He continues to rail against us.

No one should keep giving him an atta boy on the few occasions he gets something right.

College could cut over 50 percent of its staff right today.

This is why universities are unaffordable. Many thousands of professors with multimillion-dollar retirement pensions.

A 62-year old friend in California, decided to go to law school, in order to figure out, how to defeat the board of education.

Motivation: The local school system administration had 5 vice-presidents.

Yet, this friend managed to stir up enough resistance to the board of ed., that he skipped law school.

Yes, and he’s not the first to bring this up. He’s just getting it out into pop culture conversations- for a day. Jordan Peterson has been railing about this for a few years but even he isn’t the first. At Peterson’s university, he teaches graduate students so they need a lot more face time with professors to complete their dissertations and explore deep topics and learn advanced skills. Over the years students and the administrators have doubled, but the professorships have stayed the same. They have asked these profs to take on double the students. The profs grudgingly go along but Peterson begged his department to try to put a stop to it. They cannot give a quality education and skills training to that many people; it’s a disservice to the kids and to their future patients, and to the professors! We’re not talking “psychology 101”, these are the kids who are close to getting their PhD and becoming licensed therapists. He demanded that if the university wants to double its enrollment they need to double the teaching staff. The university told him they don’t have the budget for that. He replied that they need to fire more administrators to make the budget. They are just bureaucrats. High paid paper pushers. They are there to coddle the kids, not teach them how to live in and get around in the real world. It’s actually a disservice to the kids because they leave with an attitude and expectation of how the real world works and how people interact, probably a main reason why there are so many snowflakes.

It’s like government. I had a lady friend decades ago. Great person. She got an advanced degree from a top university and was immediately hired by a big state. When she showed up for work she learned they hired 8 others, too. And for a year they had no work to do. Literally nothing. Finally the group got together and asked the boss “why did you hire us if there is no work?” He flat admitted “we had extra money in the budget and if we didn’t spend it they would have cut our budget”. So they hired 9 more people just to create the illusion they needed increased funding. It’s like departmental rivalry who can get the biggest budget increase from the legislature. This was 30 years ago. It’s probably the same thing only exponentially worse now. And at the university they want 5000 more students, well then all these departments need 2500 more administrators. But not 500 new teachers. The teachers are there just to attract the students and increase the budget for the bureaucrats.

Look at your own school district first.

In my salad days, we had a high school and one (count ‘em, one) assistant principal, also known as the Executioner to naughty boys.

Today every school has multiple principals and the district has multiple assistant superintendents, all earning (paid, sorry) big bucks with generous retirements. Too many chiefs, we usta say.

Maher is either a short bus idiot who's just now realizing how over bloated colleges are or he's pretending outrage to rope in a conservative audience.

I'm going with number two.
