@@johnshilling2221 They'll unfortunately get integrated into the larger colleges as the students from the closing colleges go to the bigger colleges and make them even more woke.
@sleevey I'm a Millennial and I turned out alright. Thank goodness I was Homeschooled. Didn't have to suffer in those indoctrination institutions. Currently I'm in trade school learning welding.
@sleevey oh yeah you guys did and the boomers fucked you guys over too. So we both got handed a shattered country to fix but the damage was too great for 2 different generations to fix it and now we hand whats left to the up and coming.
According to the Department of Labor, more than 60% of entry level jobs do not require a college degree. Also, those with a two year vocational or technical degree are commanding, in many situations,comparable salaries as four year graduates.
Join reality kid, there’s way too many of us blue collar working stiffs with college degrees competing for imaginary careers. At some point, you gotta quit dreaming and get to work...no matter what that work is, or where it takes you.
For an engineering major I had to take 11 general ed courses that had nothing to do at all with my major, this is the equivalent of 1 year of school which is around $12k. I hope all of these money hungry schools close down forever. Something needs to be done.
the people teaching our kids business and economics can't even run a school when you go from student to teacher no real world experience. no wonder our education system is screwed
Parents are sick of colleges paying for safe spaces and protestings. When teachers allow students to cancel classes because they have PTSD because of an elections
same i think takeaway is that these were for profit schools and no one has money to pay out of pocket but loans so i dont get this left wing right wing talk in the comment section because liberal isnt really a compliment to a marxist anyways lmfaooo
Mark Twain Quotes About Travel "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." "The Innocents Abroad" By Mark Twain
I predicted this decades ago. Colleges and universities are pricing themselves out of the market. In addition to the high price of college, this is one of the smallest pools of potential students in decades. The smaller, private colleges are the most vulnerable. Most will become extinct.
The costs are out of control, the education isn't very good, and the degrees aren't worth very much any more. The competition for entry-level jobs is exponentially more fierce than in the 1980's, and soft-skill degrees are simply not good enough.
Colleges which can't administer a business model that keeps them in business, how good is their leadership and administration. Not a college worth attending.
Only someone with a liberal arts degree, or none at all, would attribute the closing of liberal arts collegeS to a shrinking population. Whatever the current slight decline in college aged people - it isn't having the same effect on U's that offer an actual education.
B.A. degrees have been oversold. New England liberal arts colleges specifically are outrageously cost prohibitive. Simple function of supply and demand.
Liberal arts colleges closing down? That's a blessing in disguise! What a wonderful way for students to avoid going into debt for an economically useless education and therefore a waste of money!
I think a lot may also have to do with the student loan debt. Upcoming student see how student loan debt is killing their parents, sisters, brothers, friends and communities. They don't want to deal with that debt. Life is hard enough already.
Businesses who can't provide their customers with a product or service that costs less than what they can charge go out of business. The same is true with colleges.
I had the same problem happen around 74/75 at college in New England. It was caused by the rise in oil prices. It gives people the right to ridicule you education.
It's not really hard to understand. Every business (colleges are businesses) must deliver value that justifies the cost to the students. If enough graduates from a college become highly successful (financially) some of those highly successful graduates will endow their colleges with tons of money. If a college produces graduates who have big student loans and no understanding about how to pay it off by producing something of great value to society . . . maybe that college is running a scam.
Many of us do not find the closing of liberal arts colleges alarming. Hopefully we are beginning a new era where our young are being taught how to think and not what to think. Maybe from the ashes come learning institutions that students are allowed freedom of expression in the classroom without being blacklisted. We must celebrate this as a win for freedom of speech.
Started listening to this and I couldn't figure out why these colleges or universities were closing then the magic phrase, liberal colleges and universities, MAGA.
You don't need a 4 year college degree to be unemployed and working part time at Burger King. Especially since the fast food industry is replacing employees with Kiosks.
This is totally expected, if you have eyes to see that is. When I graduated HS in 2002 I knew THEN that it would be dumb to go to college for any humanities type degree. Even then I knew I’d have to get a useful degree, so I went to nursing school at a large university. But, you know, people are stupid.
Really?? I thought there were liberal arts factories opening all over the country. I went to Texas A&M University a long time ago. It is a huge conservative agricultural, engineering and business university. I majored in accounting and became a CPA. We’ve been referred to as “that little trade school on the Brazos River.“ Funny, Texas A&M is dripping in jillion’s of dollars. Why? They actually produce something.
These schools going out of business is not alarming at all. It is very good news. They should have gone out of business years ago. The university system in the U.S. and much of the West is entirely broken. No longer higher learning for bright students, or places to debate old and new ideas, now lower learning and inept courses that manufacture ill-informed babies unprepared for the workforce, the curves of life, and devoid of ethics, common sense, and general knowledge.
Guess what Everything Changes I mean the day I finished my computer programming and design school in Cobol Microsoft comes out with a PC I still pay for my loan but I had to take the next opportunity go to the next door do the next thing which was great cuz I temp for all kinds of companies for the next 20 years
The campus looks like a great place for residential development and other housing. This way, instead of indoctrination 101 courses, there can be higher and better use of the land. A win-win for all.
Interesting. Thoughts to ponder.. Lived my education, had wonderful teachers. But, fact. K-12 teachers , union based are far better saleries than, College professors. And, when tenure was done away with, friend off mine in various fields thought on several different campuses, to make end meet. And, since at the end off the day, they had to submit a Student evaluation?! They if unfavorable ratio, were not sure they had classes the next semester. So teaching was, became younger in check to placate students! Why, eventually I went out to work in Communitys instead. But, and with donars who gave to ensure even their low grade aspiring off springs went to prep Universities. Where did all that money go to. Board holders inflated saleries??? CEOs? Then, debt acued, because interest rates were impossible to meet. Also, now with off campus Studies on computer programs, things are changing. Do we need to address this head on, before our educational system collapses??🇺🇸🇩🇰🗽💜 Algorithms Loved my Ed.... saleried.. Friends...off mine.tounge in cheek..stop fooling with key board!!!
How can you tell if a collage is closing? If they offer courses in either "21st Century Transgender Poetry" or "Modern Lesbian Interpretive Dance", it's a good bet they won't be around for long.
As soon as he said "Liberal Arts" it was obvious why they are shutting down. Whoever is paying for the college, usually parents, have come to the conclusion that any liberal arts degree is not useful in today's society. Liberal arts jobs are extremely scarce and liberal arts graduates aren't prepared to enter society as useful members. They are dependent on relatives or the government for food, shelter, and iphones. They have no useful skills and many are in debt up to their ears. There are millions of them living with their parents and are approaching 40 years old. So the liberal arts colleges are going broke? Good. It's about time. They are as useful as a buggy whip.
I'm surprised they didn't blame it on Trump. This article would have made a lot more sense if they had compared the drop in enrollment to STEM universities or technical colleges that actually teach students a marketable skill. The total silence on social justice indoctrination was deafening.
