Innovative approach to education. Back to basics—and no safe spaces.

Hillsdale College is also a great place for young people who want an actual education as opposed to a leftist indoctrination.

My son is seriously thinking of going to the College of the Ozarks, or Hard Work U as it is lovingly called. He is looking at the engineering degree.

Same idea, that the student is not ruined by enormous debt after getting a degree.

Interesting concept. Turning the bloated, insanely expensive, 4-year degree on its head and teaching classics plus actual practical experience in doing things; farming, building, etc.

Online education and degrees will be the wave of the future.

Then the professoriat will have to seek honest labor.

Wonderful idea. I imagine that American private sector ingenuity just might bail out education, along with healthcare and so-called social services.

I give money to Hillsdale and sent a copy of the cancelled check to my alma mater, Dartmouth College ('72).

“We are neither accredited nor currently seeking accreditation. The primary and ultimate role of accreditation today is to certify that a school is eligible to receive federal funding for tuition.”

THAT, may be a setback. No accreditation, no entry into the “big game”!

Patrick Henry College is another great one. Monticello College, College of the Ozarks, Hillsdale, Liberty and the other great colleges should band together and create a simple vetted website with list of links so students who are serious about learning can stop wasting time on all the wacky liberal universities.

Been thinking bout this for years..
At that price point the school.will grow and get more programs...the idea of building and maintaining school should make sure its all up to code...i.would include small scale agriculture...car mechanics...survival skills...consumer skills..computer skills...off grid work...home food production and food preservation skills and cardiovascular and weight management skills
