Now connect this to what I posted a couple weeks ago about the decline in mean IQs of college students and profs. They're increasingly desperate to admit anybody to keep their enrollments respectable.

As I always note when I read people blaming the ridiculous inflation of tuition on, you guessed it, Republicans:
- Adding more and more high-priced administrators
- Addiction to building new buildings, all while education at every level becomes more online and less brick and mortar
- Club med "dorms" and bells and whistles. You cannot walk around major state universities and not notice the luxury and waste.
- Exorbitant spending on athletic programs that, but for a couple dozen schools nationwide, lose money
- Academic programs that have low enrollment and little, if any, academic rigor

The slow death was self-inflicted. Combine the unconvincing mathematics of four-year degrees to most young men with the evolution of the most matriarchal societal institution and its inherent bias against men, and you have a formula for mass exodus from the "you have to go to college to be successful" mindset.
