I haven't heard that about Harvard, and that would really surprise me. They're one of the best endowed, most highly funded universities in the world, and are viewed a giant (sometimes undeservedly so) all across the spectrum of research fields, including the humanities. Honestly, by the time I'd begin to worry about Harvard, I would expect to see a lot of other, smaller, less well-funded schools go under. And, despite funding cuts in recent years, there aren't many schools actually going under
Well, you've paid YOUR dues, certainly, but you'd want to look at where those dues went. For the last 20 years or so, the number of profs and how much they get paid if they're full time (given inflation) has remained constant - though there's a shift away from tenure track profs to adjuncts, who get low pay and no benefits (me at present - I left FSU) Where the money HAS gone is hiring many more staff (not particularly well paid) and many extra administrators (who are extremely well paid).
Well, that sort of thing often turns out to be the case -- the bigger point is whether, when a find like this takes place, they'll "totally revolutionize our understanding of Christianity", which turns out very rarely to be the case.
Well. . . you're welcome -- but if you want education to be free, you've got to have some way for those of us engaged in it to support ourselves and our families
Thankyou for providing your material on RU-vid free of charge. I agree, providers need to be supported, and incentivised to develop and provide. Also, it is important that support doesn't create an additional burden on non service users. Many people believe higher education should be tax payer funded. However, it is mostly children of upper middle income families taking higher education, and spending less time out of school working compared to lower income taxpayers.
Uh, I think you probably have no idea what the presenter (who was me, while still at FSU a year and half ago) thinks about rights or their origins. When I'm teaching a basic class, with an assigned textbook I haven't picked, I teach that text -- not my own personal views. As a matter of fact, I think some rights don't come from governments, but from our status as human beings
Oh, believe you me Dr. Sadler, I have paid my dues. About 150k worth of small-school, liberal arts dues, lol. However, I have a Music/Bio double major and never had time to take humanities, etc.
I have a question for you Mr. Sadler: "since we don't have any evidence that indicate that aliens exists, therefore we can say that aliens don't exist" is this valid logic?
That's super lame Dr. Sadler; sounds like our government. Perhaps you can someday make a website with paypal or the like. I heard something about Harvard, of all places, moving towards a more technichal/vocational model in the future, in a podcast. Have you heard about it? Would you put much creedance in this or is it too speculative? If it has a modicum of truth, I'm scared/enraged.
I don't live in the hypothetical. What if religion never stopped the progression of science? We'd all be immortal, would have colonized the solar system or galaxy, and would have solved the problem of resources being finite.
Boring, dull, presentation. The presenter does not know the difference between rights and privileges. Thinks that government is the source of our rights. I feel sorry for his students.
