I don’t understand why colleges are up in cost way out of comparison to inflation.

Here’s the solution:

1. Online courses. Show up to take tests.

2. Cut out professorships and just go with hired guns. Use nationally syndicated instructors (go watch some of the Great Courses for examples).

3. Show up to take tests while monitored to prevent cheating.

4. Cut out nationally guaranteed students loans that can’t be discharged in bankruptcy. This will KILL OFF the useless degrees because lenders won’t give out tens of thousands to Gender Studies students.

Defund all social justice programs and various X-studies programs, because they have become political indoctrination centers.

Peterson is not the only person to call social justice a political ideology invested with religious levels of devotion, taught in women’s studies, formal social justice programs, part and parcel of education schools in the name of meeting the needs of students.

Universities are up in cost compared to other prices because they are fed great gobs of debt - from Fed.gov, and via student borrowing.

Kill the Dept. of Education and cut off this massive debt bubble, which is enslaving students to useless degrees and supporting a pillar of the crazy left.
