Out of curiosity, has there been any real backlash against the universities? Meaning parents starting to refuse to send their kids to college. It’s becoming less and less of a good investment these days.

They cant indoctrinate if they cant enroll....

Hint hint on one of the reasons they want free tuitions.....

The only noted backlash was seen with Mizzou in the fall semester of last year...where the incoming crowd fell by 35-percent for fall/2015 and fall/2016. Word is that they expect a 14-percent decrease over the normal rate for freshmen for fall/2017.

If you look at what’s said by parents up in the Missouri region...there are 13 public colleges in the state. You have no reason to attend Mizzou. I imagine that a number of parents just weighed the atmosphere and told the kid that they weren’t going to pay $90,000 for some protest-theme university.

I will say this. If Mizzou doesn’t repair its situation, I could see a quarter of the staff gone in four years. Others might want to look at how fast things went and how difficult it is to rebuild your character. What idiot would be paying out huge sums of money for a worthless degree?
