[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these "illegal protests" he is worrying about mostly about Gaza?  If so, I hope all the muslims who voted for him see what they got.  They got the leopard-eats-your-face.  I hope they will stand with people who believe in tradition, democracy, and rule-of-law now, instead of obvious thugs[/quote]

Of course it’s about Gaza, and probably any anti Trump protests that will probably intensify as the economy collapses.[b] Universities are probably about to get seriously wrecked over the next couple of years.[/b][/quote]

I'm trying to send my HS senior off to college this fall and I can't tell if these statements are chicken little ories collapsing a a real concern.[/quote]

If we don't turn around the admin soon, here is what you will see:
-Universities collapsing as fin aid gets pulled
-Universities collapsing as funding gets pulled
-Universities collapsing if the economy tanks (normally, this is good for two year colleges, but see above)
-Universities collapsing because faculty and staff bail out of fear and funding cuts.
-Vital research cut off at the knees

Most of these elite schools have huge endowments. They aren't going to collapse. Some could run on the interest from their endowments indefinitely.[/quote]

Our most of our kids going to elite schools? No. State universities and two year colleges will suffer greatly. And what AHrvard and Stanford do, smaller colleges and Universities can't. So why even bring up the elite schools? Are they the only ones that matter?[/quote]

Guys, get this through your head, federal funding of colleges and universities is not helping students.  The students are getting robbed blind.  They are FORCED to go into debt to qualify for almost ANY white collar job.  Tuition increases have GALLOPED ahead of inflation for decades.  It's even worse than in health care!  Obviously whatever the government doing is not creating a healthy education system.  If Trump disrupts this system, it will be for the better.  This is NOT praise of Trump, it is damnation of our sick university system which crushes the middle class and crushes young students.  It almost could not be worse than it is now.  It HAS to be shaken up.  This might be one of the few areas where Trump's destructive impulses do some good.  We need our system to look a LOT LESS USFEDGOV-y and a lot more European.  [/quote]
