Oberlin has a long history of being a crazy Leftist place. Lena Dunham went there. But things have been ratched up a few notches, including fake hate incidents, as full blown Cultural Marxism has taken over. I guess the school is running out of white families willing to shell out $50+ K a year for a glorified re-education camp. Hat Tip: Legal Insurrection.

Perhaps if they raise their annual quota of false rape accusations to five hundred, students will flock to the school.

The thing is...they only have around 2,900 students paying this $50,000 a year. If you just dipped ten-percent on freshmen in one single year...you’d have to lay off a dozen professors real quick. Sounds like they already had issues over the last year or two, and probably took out some loans to get by, and they are falling behind on debt.

If you were the parent of some kid bent on ‘magic-ticket-degree’ and all this antifa/Marxism was pay-back after four years...you’d tell the kid to find another college for entry. I’ll bet that the college is shut down within five years because of debt issues.

I’ll bet their bigger problem is more difficulty attracting FULL-PAY students. They can get plenty of ppl who need financial aid, but loads of parents who can pay the full freight don’t want their kid to go there.

Good news!

Make this happen at every Snowflake University, which hates Trump, his voters, Christians and anyone who is white.

Then makes that hatred the main ideology at that university!

Holding salaries at zero for a year, which is what happened this last year, is a dramatic step. But it’s the one thing that we can do immediately to have an impact on the budget without people losing their jobs. We hope to not have to go back to that.

I wonder if having a Dean who uses Congressional Accounting to conflate "zero increase" with "zero salary" is contributing to the problem?

Thank God. Higher Ed needs some shaking up. Follow the money.

Maybe families are taking a second look at colleges and what they’re really about now. A masters degree in Twelfth century Tibetan poetry along with a double in classical studies won’t get you very far along with 100k of student loans to pay off.

Best possible thing that could happen. And the kampus kraziness you are seeing is a DIRECT result of the diversity push. It is making these campuses a lot more volatile and it may have reached a tipping point. A lot of young people are now seeing college as a negative. This is not true across the board, but should definitely be the case if all you get after 4 years and > $200K is a batsh!t crazy SJW (who is deeply in debt).

Let’s hope a few of these rabidly Leftist schools go under. That is probably the only thing that will send a meaningful message.

Obieland is/was one of the most liberal schools in Ohio, maybe even our nation. I saw a great Scottish festivals there one time. Amazing.

The email also requested that administrators and staff begin looking for ways to cut spending and increase revenue


LOL—yeah, that’s gonna happen. [/s] Professors (rightly) get dumped on, but at least they are accomplishing the core mission of the schools. These days, many of them are adjuncts, who don’t make a whole lot. Meanwhile, the number of administrators with loud titles, and meaningless jobs, keeps increasing. That would be the logical area to cut, but the bureaucracy will resist it to the bitter end.

I guess some of their constituents figured out that the investment really does not pay.

Colleges are dying for the same reason the NFL is dying and nobody seems to know why.

“Because of the deficit, the board chose to hold all non-union salaries at their previous level unless otherwise stipulated by a contract, including faculty member salaries, for the second year in a row.
“It’s something that we never want to do,” Dean of the College of Arts and Science Tim Elgren said about the salary freeze. “When we look at a short-term expense issue, there’s almost no way to recover, because we’re fixed in contracts with the unions, and with non-union continuing faculty members and visitors. Holding salaries at zero for a year, which is what happened this last year, is a dramatic step. But it’s the one thing that we can do immediately to have an impact on the budget without people losing their jobs. We hope to not have to go back to that.”

Music to my ears!

If I was hiring, any applicant from Oberlin would be immediately scratched off the list without any further consideration.

Same goes for any Ivy League grad. No need to introduce a cancer into the organization.

This is white flight at the academic level.

You keep pissing off white people, you're going to keep losing money .
