Meanwhile, the number of full-time educators per 1,000 undergraduates has stayed roughly the same over the last 10 years, hovering at an average of 103 instructors per 1,000 students, according to the data.

And in case you’re wondering the school has 55 DEI positions at an annual cost of $5.8 million. What in the world do these administrators do all day?

” my education cost a bit less than $10,000.”

Yep, back in die guten alten zeiten, local Community College was $900 per semester.
CA was free for a very long time.
CUNY Schools were world class institutions, a working family man could afford to get a degree going to night school.

First school that gets back to that, wins.

** Methinks the Internet may finally address it’s true calling.

They need to fire the staff, nearly all of them! I was just sharing with a friend this morning when we were discussing our upcoming kid’s college costs, that I did my undergrad and first year of grad school with an accumulated total of less than $5,000 in student loans, plus a year as a grad assistant. One of my jobs paid for some classes and some were paid while I wasin the military. I graduated virtually debt-free. It is incredulous to hear people talking about $300,000-500,000 debt for many students.

Just like birth control pills, College requires following a schedule and commitment. Young people don’t want to be scheduled they want to be free to be lazy with no consequences.

The private enterprise got rid of most administrators.
With the publishing software, presentation software and spell checks, they are pretty redundant!
Only in academia, they actually proliferated!
And they cannot be fired. Since they control the admin, they decide who would be downsized if necessary.

Just catch 22, which is the root cause of sad sitiation of all American education.

Unaffordable? How about irrelevant?

I attended Temple University in the early 80’s and the tuition was 1650 bucks a year which I thought was outrageous at the time ,..I recently spoke to someone whose daughter just graduated.45000 dollars a year for a 5 year course in landscape architecture.She lived on campus which accounts for some of that,,I lived at home.

Hey, they have to have somewhere to put all those graduates with useless degrees ending in “studies”.
