[QUOTE="Towgunner, post: 1452427, member: 12355"] No, college is definitely not worth it any more. Many academics are coming to this conclusion. The driving force here? Leftism. They destroy everything they touch. Prof. Brett Weinstein (of evergreen state college) knows this all to well and has said the academy is over. Recently, he discussed with his wife on the Darkhorse podcast series a newly appointed head of a Physics department at a prestigious university. The new appointee was appointed by way of a diversity and equity criteria. So, big surprise, a female person of color, who probably has many other intersectional points, was appointed. Brett and his wife were adamant when they said "This is the end of the academy". In this instance, the diversity and equity component to this hiring decision exceeded competency and merit. I can't recall the exact details, but, it was obvious the chosen person was not the most qualified. Situations like this are occurring all over academia. Its systemic. And it is destroying this institution. People fail to appreciate just how complete the failure of this institution is. Not only that, but, just how evil this institution has become too. They can't even fulfill the basic and obvious mission, which is NOT to teach people to think or to think critically, rather, to be competent at things like their respective major or even reading and writing. The word exploitation comes to mind. Because they exploit these kids futures by making them into indentured servants with the ever growing tuition. They exploit these kids to be the vanguard of their twisted and warped ideology. So, not only are they fleecing these kids of money to enrich themselves they're also using these kids as pawns to satisfy their selfish politics and cult. When the riots erupted last year we got to see first hand the "army" created by academia. Young females from Milton Ma, a very wealthy town, with rich parents squeezing a small toy pig in the face of a police officer calling him a virgin and saying his kids hate him. That is the output of academia. Is this person competent in anything? No. And she's a bartender. [/QUOTE]
