Moody’s Investors Service now has a negative outlook for the entire U.S. higher education sector, the rating agency said on Wednesday, citing “mounting fiscal pressure on all key university revenue sources.”
Uh, it’s NOT “my college”.
Let the Creative Destruction commence.
I remember the college student union building. I loved the peace and quiet. I could go there between classes and study stretched out on a sofa or a comfy chair — much nicer than the library. Sometimes I would engage a fellow student in a game of chess. I always got my butt kicked but learned with every game.
One day I entered the building and there was a crowd of zombies staring blankly at a brand new large screen television which was blaring a commercial. I knew at that very moment that higher education was in decline.

Where the hell are kids going to party?
I was the starting quarterback on our virtual university’s football team. I threw for thirty simulated touchdowns. I was going to be a first round draft pick for the virtual professional football league, but I got hurt in a game. I have a trick thumb.

The bubble is about to burst.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.

"Big Education" is a major source of funding for Democrats.
No way they let it suffer much of a haircut.
Yes, but I’ve hired a trainer to help get my thumb back in shape. He was a hitch hiker for thirty years.
Let’s see what happens to unionize college professors and instructors when they are not given raises. Some may be able to make the leap to the private sector/real world, but most will be utterly lost. I bet the cost of college adjusts and unions will have to go along with it or not survive.
