.... and not a moment too soon.

The comments are worth reading in this thread.

The woke grift is in trouble.



The ACC must be really phooqed ... but the comments reveal more.

Yup. Now that there is not a bottomless pit of money that their dumbass students can borrow from.

Salaries and pensions will kill most of the public ones eventually. The price of college for how accessible it is nowadays is ridiculous. The university I went to almost shut down years ago because of dwindling enrollment.

Can some of those teachers, if they are good, go teach the youts so they can actually READ by the time they get to college?

They should start by eliminating Schools of Gender Studies and Community Organizers. Then get rid of all the other woke, useless, Schools within the systems.

Anyone else think this might be the catalyst behind Trump being okay with allowing 600k Chy-na students to enroll is U.S. universities and colleges?

Like maybe they'll go broke without them?

Maybe.

Selling useless degrees dipped in shite leftist propaganda is not education. It is a political scam.

The birth rate dropped in 2008. So the number of students available to go to college is smaller. And a smaller percentage of the smaller number are going to college. Pretty easy math.

The next democrat president will bail them out with taxpayer money. Higher education is an important part of their circle of life.


Young people get indoctrinated with lies --

Their federal student loans go to support the extreme-Left faculty --

They take their useless degree and get a job with the fedgov. --

they are lifelong supporters of excessive government spending because their livelihood requires it.
