The Federal govt needs to limit money to funding majors that lead to real world paying jobs, not ones that recycle their graduates back into academia, or toward govt bureaucracy, liberal SJW activist groups, etc.

If universities want those things, let them pay for it and raise the money.

Yep. Do away with or severely reduce guaranteed student loans, and watch the cost of higher ed drop, with industry and alumnae funding equipment and research they find relevant. Base scholarships on academic merit again.
