He’s right. We put people in college who don’t have the intellectual capacity for university studies. It happens because state investment into higher education dropped off a cliff. So what do you do with the people, the buildings, the labs, everything? Fire everybody and bulldoze down the facilities because there is no more money for the upkeep? Nobody would make such a decision.
The only alternative is to bring to college people who aren’t capable of being college students and bully professors into passing them by declaring that failing a student is racist. DEI is a financial necessity. State funding keeps dropping, so we need more and more students who are incapable of learning at that level. Such students need a battery of professional services – tutoring, counseling, clerks to explain how life works in every area, DEI functionaries to make everybody accept what’s happening – and that necessitates more money.
Tuition grows, student debt grows, but there’s no end in sight because it’s a self-perpetuating model. And it all started when the state turned away and said, “fend for yourselves.” Yes, there’s absolutely too much higher education on every level. There’s a massive overproduction of useless PhDs, Master’s, Bachelor’s. In order to create this overproduction we are embracing unscientific, bizarre superstitions, such as that everybody is equally capable of all kinds of intellectual operations.
