Hopefully someday universities will be unnecessary. Superseded by practical knowledge learned online and practical on-the-job experience.

Colleges and Universities, are already pricing themselves out of business and becoming irrelevant.

I think Rush said the other day 50 per cent of new graduates from College are UNEMPLOYED!

Online Learning is gaining momentum.

I don't know about unnecessary but they do need to become much smaller, rarer, and privately funded. That doesn't mean just for the rich, only that poor kids will have to win academic scholarships paid for by private/corporate sponsors.

Commentary: States and Federal Government Should Stop Funding Higher Education: How one college rejects public funding and keeps tuition down

When I went to college in the 70’s it was a requirement to take a course called Propaganda Analysis. We studied the Readers Digest and learned how it was being used to manipulate us. (at least that is what we were suppose to learn) Not surprisingly, it is no longer a required course..................

[ProgressingAmerica]

Institutions of higher learning will always be around, in what form is the question. What we need to do is make sure posterity is properly informed before entering college so as to laugh at these radicals in their faces when they attempt to radicalize.

Or in the instance of online classes, there’s plenty of indoctrination embedded into the curricula to continue the process, so it’s incumbent upon all parents to keep an eye on the student’s workbooks and correct things contained therin, such as things related to social/distributive/environmental/etc justice.

Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for liberty.
