How about you let the students make the decision? I can't blame a college for taking money from a retard.

I doubt that's what she meant but who knows. These gender study degrees are about the most useless degrees ever. They make a General Studies or Liberal Arts degree look like an MBA

ETA: Someone realizes that identity politics is killing their party.

You are misreading...

This is what you missed.
It has nothing to do with Government controlled education. i.e. "not for profit" colleges worthless degrees.

Sure, but it does have to do with taxpayer $. Unless you think these students don't receive Stafford loans and Pell grants...

I can't blame a 17-year-old believing a degree may have a future.

You think a person dumb enough to get a degree in gender studies is the victim? Think no one asked them what you do with a gender studies degree?

That's exactly what she meant. There has been a war on "for profit schools" for years now. They act like education is some sacred institution and can only be administered via a bloated beuraucratic state agency.

She's not? Colleges can't charge what they want? Prospective students can't do a cost/benefit analysis and decide if they are willing to pay for the benefit a college is offering?

It's time to hold people accountable for their decisions.

The key element here is. If you want to study stupid shite, do so.

The problem is when you want a subsidized loan to do so.

I would guess that, more often than not, they are not paying.
Just sayin'
