REad the rest of my posts. In this very thread. We’ve been over all that. I related my experience from the very large public university that I worked at 20+ years ago. They were laying off full professors, replacing them with adjuncts and grad students, all while creating a huge new Diversity bureaucracy. I’m not…

I’d like both my Governments and my Unversities (at least the ones at which I’m paying tuition) to be efficient with their money. I somehow doubt there’s anything like a 1:1 relationship between administrative bloat and services provided. My own personal experience tells me that it’s a lot of self serving bureaucracy…

I’m not against having a women’s center per se, but most of those were founded when there was still an imbalance in college attendance between men and women, it’s flipped now, obviously, and the divide is growing. God help anyone who might suggest that we need a mens center to encourage academic participation by young…

That certainly explains some and/or most of it. I’ve never heard a parent say (or considered myself when looking at colleges with my daughter) that I really wanted a University with a bloated administration. As it turns out, we ended up with that anyways! it’s growing hard to avoid, in fact.

Just one note, there are very few College sports programs that pay for themselves. Generally speaking, college sports are a money pit. I enjoy college football and basketball, but i’m not entirely sure that the schools should be subsidising them at a time when they can’t afford to pay instructional staff.

Dramatically reduce the administration. Declare a moratorium on new buildings on campus unless they are directly related to instruction. No new sports stadiums. Use shared services where possible. I’m just spitballing based on my own experience, but the fact that budgets and tuition have raced way far ahead of the…

Today, that’s true, and I stand corrected. There was a time when there was less of a divide than there is today, where the administration seems to be in a very different business than the instructors and researchers

For some of the labor.  The part of the labor that are, you know, actually involved in instruction and research.  The vast army of administrators that contribute exactly nothing to educating students are made in the shade though.  Those are the jobs you want in Academia now, at least up until this comes to it’s…

And they keep building gleaming new buildings that are housing something (???) while lecture centers get more crowded, with fewer full professors (more adjuncts and grad students) actually instructing anyone at the 100 and 200 levels of classes.

Agreed. I touched on this in another thread, i’ve been a hiring manager/director for most of the last 20 years. There’s been an observable and disturbing downward trend in the quality of college graduates, especially in terms of reading comprehension and ability to write clearly, or for that matter, in complete…

Yes, good job not understanding what I wrote, or what is actually happening there.  Fort Sill has lots of infrastructure that is used in the housing of illegals.  They aren’t hot bunking with infantry.  Nobody said that, you literal drooling moron.

I left academia because of the shitty pay.  This is mostly spot on.  One thing I observed directly (and this was 20 years ago, but i think if anything the trend has accelerated) was that while actual teaching faculty were getting squeezed on money, they were building massive empires of Diversity Coordination.  Gold…

Yeah it’s rich to see the two village idiots trying to laugh at someone else

Yes, because i’m the one hysterically comparing everyone I don’t like to Hitler, or even Double Hitler because ORANGE MAN BAD

Or, alternatively, Biden recognizes that petulant behavior and purity tests will keep the Dems as a minority party for the foreseeable future.  Elect Bernie Sanders and you get another massive republican wave 2 years later.  Elect Joe Biden, and watch him actually get something done.

I think this also calls for an obvious solution, massively ramp up border security, build a wall, and double down on enforcement of immigration laws. Mexico can build happy smiley multicultural Immigrant Towns on it’s side of the border and do with them as they please. Enforce the laws, build the wall, kick out the…

It’s long been the goal of Leftists to trivialize the Holocaust.  She knew exactly what she was doing here, and the narrow, legalistic defense of her comments WELL ACKSHUALLY CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARENT THE SAME THING AS DEATH CAMPS is a naked attempt to distract from what she’s really doing, which is conflating Trump…

You mean an army base?  Yes, terrifying for the Federal Government to use a Federal facility on Federal land with the basic infrastructure needed to house large groups of people.  I sure hope you get some help for your hysteria.

citation please.  And no, Alex Jones doesn’t count

I sincerely hope that AOC keeps going.
