I agree we need a government program. Start axing colleges which create liberal Demonrats and start using the internet to replace liberal college professors.

Just have videos of the lectures from top experts and cut college costs by 90%.

One of my professors at our community college told me....”You wouldn’t believe what they pay me”....and he didn’t mean too little.

I’m down with your program.

Can’t afford school and not willing to pay for it? Then use modern technology to get your education cost effectively.

Pretty simple.

Yep. There’s a glut of colleges (subsidies will do that), and a glut of students who don’t belong in college (subsidies do that, too).

1) Start axing grants for idiotic "research". Especially in the "social sciences". Make the professors actually teach some classes.

2) The reason why companies demand a degree is because of a Supreme Court decision, Griggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 U.S. 424 (1971), which barred companies from administering tests for hiring or placement, if blacks failed the tests more often than whites. So companies started to demand college degrees, in the hope of getting candidates who could actually read and write.

If people could just take standardized tests for literacy, math, etc, and have companies hire on the basis of the tests, the whole liberal education establishment would collapse. People who self-educated themselves would be hired in preference to semi-literate "black studies" majors. There would suddenly be no use for departments that did not actually educate people in skills which companies actually want.

I would disagree, the only solution is the complete defunding of our colleges and universities by the federal government and force them to compete in the private sector like the unfunded universities do.
