When you or a family member dies from a disease that might have been cured by research at one of these schools, I'm sure you will feel the same way. But a) you're dumb, and b) you will be dead.

If Fox News told you to jump off a bridge, would you jump? If Donald Trump told you the sun orbits the earth would you believe him? Asking for a friend.

I find your stupid comments about universities particularly ironic being posted in a thread about universities. If you don't like them, don't send your kids to one. All of the migrants are being kicked out - there are fields to be harvested. Get out there and start picking. I need my fruits and vegetables. Move it. Now.

No, Professors won't teach more. Teaching undergrads is not really part of their job. Fewer classes and more adjuncts will become the norm.

It never was a good idea, even less so now.

Takeaways: this is a great year for a full pay private school kid who desires an ivy plus.
