This is my question to high school grads — why are you going to spend $100,000+ for a dumbed down college degree that, if not in some kind of hard science or engineering discipline, is absolutely worthless?

Just imagine how many high paying jobs are available for a B.A. in Afro-American or Latino Studies (with or without a math requirement)? Answer: zero, zip, nada, none.

Better that high school grads go into a trade school or other professional training that doesn't need a college degree. One thing for certain, you won't be paying for a worthless $100,000+ piece of paper with an embossed seal.

Come now, there are hundreds of thousands of jobs for such folks in government bureaucracies, academia, and large corporations.

I googled the Ohio State University web site for the word "diversity". There were over 80,000 hits. Within the first ten pages you can find the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the Diversity Services Office, the Vice Provost for Outreach and Engagement, the Diversity Council, the Diversity & Identity Studies Collective, the Diversity Counseling & Consultation Service, the Multicultural Center, the Faculty Diversity Committee, the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Diversity Catalyst Team, the Faculty of Color Caucus, the Diversity Enhancement Program, and separate diversity offices for the colleges of medicine, law, optometry, engineering, business, nursing, education, arts & sciences, and public health.
