[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complaints I've picked up from others:

1. Decline in student quality due to COVID but also longer term structural educational and admissions policies. Even at elite colleges, more kids are turning up without basic learning skills and knowledge that was once taken for granted.

2. Colleges are far more ideological places than they were 20 years ago. Many professors who don't rush to embrace the latest woke beliefs feel pressured to keep their mouths shut to get tenure, or ride it out till retirement. Some are afraid of their more extremist students and self-censor in classes and curb free discussions because it's just not worth the hassle any more.

3. Admin has exploded in size and influence and directly interfere with research and hiring and departmental matters. More micromanagement. And admin are fully signed up to DEI.

[b]I don’t understand #2.  Unless you are in a politics-adjacent class, what on earth are you talking about where ideology comes in.  But maybe that’s my STEM degree talking.[/b]

Basically you have to support very liberal progressive ideas. That obviously doesn’t come up as much in a hard science or math class, but it does in many other subjects. [/quote]
