The Department of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey is offering a course called "Politicizing Beyonce."
Kevin Allred, a doctoral student who is teaching the class, tells the university's online news site that he is using Beyonce's career as a way to explore American race, gender and sexual politics.

Do they have a course studying the now completed TV series House, since its fictional hospital is supposed to be connected to Rutgers University?

No. Women Studies majors. Also, this course is being taught by a Doctoral CANDIDATE, not an actual PHd.

For the most part, college has outgrown it’s usefulness. For the most part it doesn’t prepare students to succeed.

As the cost of “higher education” necessarily skyrockets, the quality of academia plummets.

Explains why a US college degree is worth nothing. Explains why non-Americans are arriving in droves to fill jobs that Americans are too stupid to fill.

"Explains why a US college degree is worth nothing."
Certainly true for a Bachelor of Arts degree. I tell High School seniors nowadays that they will be much better off going to technical school and learning to become an electrician or welder than spending a ton of money for a worthless Bachelor of Arts degree.

They’re joining the Big Ten next year, right ?
