You’re probably right, but if colleges retrieved zero direct federal funding, and were required to finance their own student debt, I think it would be a great step in the right direction. Than clamp down on ‘studies’ of zero benefit to anyone!

The harsh reality that everyone can plainly now see is that universities have become just another "big business" rather than institutions of learning and practical application. Further, they beguile parents into believing that it's an honor to pay for their children's education. It's gross.
As a side note, when I was attending college I began as an interior design major but graduated with a degree in International Relations. It was quite a leap. But the classes I took, in upper division and outside my major, were incredibly fascinating and transformed my education into a the beginning of a life-long love of learning about other countries and how they interact with each both in current times and historically. I just don't see, from all of what is produced these days, that kind of teaching or learning going on. So what is the point of paying echo-chamber learning atmospheres?
