With the exceptions of the fourth estate and Congress, no institution in society is doing more to destroy itself than the Ivory Tower.

These folks are such frauds.

        it should be. But the sheer cost has changed the dynamic. Sad...but the universities have done thisNT TakethetrainKnute 8:31pm · 9/8/19

        Let me put it this way. Liberal Arts is a fine art, shouldn't & couldn't be mass produced. Eli 11:55am · 9/8/19
        
        An undergrad degree shouldn’t be mass produced in any discipline. Frank L 12:09pm · 9/8/19
        
        Nobody is mass producing anything Chris94 12:08pm · 9/8/19
        
        My original point is that it is not for everyone. NedoftheHill 12:58pm · 9/8/19
        
        “Big Education.” Right.NT Chris94 5:37pm · 9/8/19
        
        Just "Big Ed"...NT TakethetrainKnute 10:08pm · 9/9/19
        
        Why would you use this on others and not have it apply to your field? It is accurate.NT BaronVonZemo 6:44am · 9/9/19
        
        Really? You are going to let that stop you from making a substantive response? NedoftheHill 6:12pm · 9/8/19
        
        I concur. Even for the hard/professional degrees, college is for education not training. Curly1918 11:40am · 9/8/19
        
        OK, but that is not how it is used today.NT NedoftheHill 12:53pm · 9/8/19
        
        It is in the hard subjects. As to the liberal arts... I'm not sure what Plato had to say about... Curly1918 6:02pm · 9/8/19
        
        That is a nice sentiment, but I don't buy it. NedoftheHill 10:29am · 9/8/19
        
        I think you glossed over a key point. iairishcheeks 12:21pm · 9/8/19
        
        Indebted, and therefore politically enslaved, lumps of clay. NedoftheHill 12:53pm · 9/8/19
        
        Again, it is not meant to be a financial investment Chris94 10:37am · 9/8/19
        
        I am sorry, but that is utter BS, especially since the internet can provide this for free.NT BaronVonZemo 6:48am · 9/9/19

        Do the poor have the latitude to invest a $100k in their soul? No, they do not. NedoftheHill 12:44pm · 9/8/19
        
        The poor have the advantage, many just don't realize it. iairishcheeks 2:38pm · 9/8/19
        
        They don’t need to. They will get schollys if they are committed.NT Frank L 1:18pm · 9/8/19
        
        Let me add this: That is an outdated sentiment. If valid once, it is not valid now. NedoftheHill 10:35am · 9/8/19
        
        I think it depends on the student. Frank L 11:11am · 9/8/19
        
        But both of your kids with humanities degrees WoodstockIrish 1:23pm · 9/9/19
        
        Each of your kids got training in a discipline that is marketable (Law, Law and Finance). NedoftheHill 12:42pm · 9/8/19
        
        The first would be quite marketable with just the MPP. She got both degrees in a 2 for 1 package. Frank L 1:17pm · 9/8/19
