Tuition and living costs have artificially doubled since 2010 across the board, if not tripled.
If you went to school more than 5 years ago it is entirely different. Classes are held online, even on campus. Almost everything is done digitally and online.
Student suicide, depression are sky rocketing. COVID rules have completely changed how campus living works - students would rather be on TikTok than be forced to wear masks or get forcibly "quarantined" (legal jail cell). Yes, that is real, it goes on every day. Students are not allowed to protest universities, the law in all states is written in such a way that you have no tenant rights, no representation, and the University can do as they please. They reap the benefits of a private org (predatory contracts) while socializing the cost (grants/loans)
That money from housing and tuition is absorbed into a black hole, it is not used for student programs. It is not used to improve education. We cannot get basic equipment. We cannot provide a proper education.
Universities have been overrun by blue types that are now forcing even more unnecessary and politically motivated classes, promoting activism and specific kinds of beliefs as if they are academic. They're cherry picking academic knowledge for what aligns to their politics.
The core competencies are underfunded, students don't receive the help they need, and are overshadowed by the admins shiny new false humanities programs.
Students this summer will go homeless because they cannot pay for summer housing. Uni housing charges exorbant artificial pricing well above market. Again, private profits, social costs.
Students cannot afford an education, and even those that do don't get a quality education outside of a few top universities. This is unsustainable, but various beliefs prevent us from doing the right thing - defunding.
We need a mass firing and reorganization of American education.
Everyone in education I have spoken with says we should just nuke it from orbit at this point. Like, physically torch all the school buildings and go back to the drawing board on how to teach people shit in 2022 and beyond.
