In the future 'Age of Obama', universities, colleges are superfluous, anachronistic, have no purpose anyway.

The college bubble.

There is nothing that government meddling can’t muck up.

Imagine that, the Keynesian gangrene has spread to another sector of the economy.

Not to worry. Obama will prop up all of his leftist university brain washers with our tax dollars.

Their logic is sound. You cannot make money from learning underwater basket weaving or womyn’s studies, so WTF are these schools offering these degrees? A 6 month course at a community college for welding, and within a year or two of experience you can walk into a really lucrative job.

I’m SHOCKED that another 3rd party payer system has proven to be a wasteful boondoggle.

I’ve been impressed with the president of my alma mater, Texas A&M.

He pushed for A&M to move to the SEC. He even fired the athletic director. Well, it was a great move, and A&M is bringing in lots of marketing and other revenue. Of course, having Johnny Heisman is also helping.

I’m just glad to see that the president is thinking outside the box on bringing in revenues to the university.

Universities waste too much money on political correctness studies. Put the leftists race and sex retards out to pasture. Give students some value for their effort, time and money for a change.

Conservatives used to fight for colleges to keep costs down by arguing against waste on social re-education radical studies. We stopped doing that and the left has taken higher education into the ghetto. It’s arrived at Detroit now.
