Let the Colleges Die

by Jim Goad

At a symposium in May, Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen predicted that “50 percent of the 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. will be bankrupt in 10 to 15 years.”

Christensen appears to be onto something. The number of students enrolled in American colleges and universities has dropped every year for the past five years. In 2016, the majority of private and public American colleges failed to meet their enrollment and tuition targets.

This is possibly the best news I’ve heard all year. And not because I’m against learning or education—it’s because American colleges no longer teach people how to think; they command people what to think, with the constant looming Sword of Damocles hanging over the head of anyone foolish enough to express a dissident thought.

I agree.
Let leftist academia crumble into ruins.

From the ashes new institutions may rise, once again actually dedicated to learning instead of indoctrination...

I would seriously encourage students to look at studying abroad.   I think it offers frankly a better experience than most US universities.
