[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale committee concludes that colleges and universities have completely lost the plot:

“High costs, murky admissions practices, uneven academic standards and fears about free speech on campuses, the committee said, are among the reasons for widening discontent over higher education’s worthiness.

The findings reflect misgivings that Americans have described across years of polling and interviews. But the report, from a 10-professor panel at one of the nation’s most renowned universities, amounts to a damning depiction of academia’s role in cultivating the political and cultural forces that are reshaping higher education’s place in American life.”

Your landscaper could have told you this.

Any FOX viewer could have told you this.

Hopefully they’re not patting themselves on the back about these conclusions.[/quote]

You don't have to be either one of those things to see the issues.

What are the solutions?   Seems like the fox viewers decided that destroying funding for scientific research was the solution and instead spending it on bombing a country to result in sky high energy prices that suck lots and lots and lots of money out of all of our wallets .  Great job Fox viewers.[/quote]

Sometimes you have to cause a ruckus
if you want to fight injustice.[/quote]

A ruckus? An economy headed for a recession. A job market in the toilet for yale graduates and every other graduate. Inflation going up prospects for our kids futures going down That's not a ruckus to fight it justice that is cutting off your nose, lips, ears, eyes, cheeks and chin to spite your face

Just take yale and get the f*** if that's what it takes to get rid of you.  You sound like such a genius! You'll be able Make Yale so much better.[/quote]

I am willing to make those sacrifices to burn the wokeness out of colleges and universities.  They brought it on themselves.[/quote]

Wreak havoc on the country and the world is worth it because you don't like college admissions policies.  That is just stupid.

Anyway the backlash is coming.   The good for nobody GOP is losing badly in so many recent contests and rightly so.   Cant happen soon enough.   [b]Reforms to college admissions can happen without burning down the place you fools[/b] [/quote]

No it can't, they don't take you seriously unless you burn the place down.  This is the same reason black people riot, nobody takes their concerns seriously until they start burning shit down.  A year's worth of rioting 5 years ago and how much police brutality have we had since then?  A lot less.
They could have fixed that shit a long time ago, we had the technology to hold cops accountable.  But now that people realize that bad things can happen when you let cops kill young black men without much in the way of consequences, we started seeing consequences and with those consequences, we saw fewer bad shootings.

A few years disruption of scientific research is horrible, but worth it.  People will die because of delayed scientific discovery, economic growth will be delayed, the consequences are bad for everyone but nobody was taking admissions reform seriously, colleges weren't really obeying SFFA, we had to burn the place down. 
If colleges had not lost the plot like they did, this would never have been an issue.  
Trump is chemotherapy, the poison that you use to burn out the more deadly disease.  
And we are already seeing the changes in admissions and the self reflection by the ivory towers in the OP.[/quote]
Not following SFFA is not worse than the complete destruction of global US hegemony. Not for Americans, anyway.[/quote]

One must understand that on DCUM "not following the SFFA" is code for not letting in hordes of Asian drones based on SAT scores. They have a very selective reading of SFFA.[/quote]

There is only one reading of SFFA.  Don't discriminate on the basis of race.  I don't see anything in there about legacies or sports or FGLI.  [/quote]
