Time to Disrupt the University System

[friendly fred]

The University system has devolved into overpriced insanity and is increasingly driving students into excessive debt.

I say the culprit is small class size.

Double the class size and cut tuition in half!

Get those coddled professors back to teaching enough students to earn their pay and lavish benefits.

Half of them need to learn how to kick a shovel.

Good point. If you get rid of the poor teachers and keep the good ones you'd not only cut costs but improve the students' education. It's much better to put 200 students in a room with a first rate professor instead of 20 in with a mediocre one.

i don't think class size matter too much. most of the universities have 100 in classes.



its obvious that the university system is corrupt. it wasn't always like this. the changes started in the 1970's.

The worst offenders are the privileged Ivy League Diversities. They seem like ghost towns with huge, aging buildings and very small classes.

I've walked around several of them in the daytime and I could barely tell the buildings were occupied.

Contrast that to the State University I attended which looked like Times Square when classes were changing.

Brother Fred you are right on the money. What a lot of simple minded people in this forum don't realize is that many moderate liberals like myself don't like this new breed of Socialist Democrats. At some point issues like the college tuition need to be solved by more moderate views from both side. People like me and you

I continue to support you and your family Brother

I'd say the culprit is administrative greed coupled with dimocrat policies
that repubs were complicit in due to fear

what I think is that for the vast number of people there will be a growing tension between wanting the college experience with its set class times and mwf or tue/thursday schedules and walking to class and dorms and all of that and money......and .....

although the college experience is a rite of passage for many kids, money always wins in the final analysis and....

ultimately online is going to defeat brick and mortar for the great swath of the unwashed

the elite will hang on to the ivy covered walls of their fav instituion as a symbol of their stature and as always sprinkled in will be "the oppressed minorities"

As usual, this poster is disparaging the intellect of others on forum - an insulting and demeaning post.

For Shame!

Thank you my brother and I appreciate your support of my modest reform proposals for higher education. I support the forgotten middle class.

The Government guaranteed student loans.

Since the loans are guaranteed, the Universities can keep upping the cost.

The dim witted students can’t comprehend the actual bills that are running up.

The universities could care less whether the students can pay back the obey. Remember, theirs was guaranteed.

In the mean time he poor kid gets a degree that is worthless.
