Why would people want to contribute to that mess?
Because they are naive. Because they are fools.
Colleges and Universities should be a way to gain training for a job. Nothing more. And if there are no jobs in the field that you are training for, example: gender studies, find something else to do. Otherwise it is a complete waste of money. Wait, it is a complete waste of “other people’s money” because you expect a bail out from Uncle Joe.
