1. I've come to view education as corrupt as government or business

Be they state-led and financed, religious majority or evangelical or minority,
company-town historical, or philanthropic founded, they all have agendas

that reflect their world view and push it on the students

It's only in the last 10 years it's suddenly about what is this degree worth?

What skills am I gaining?

It's too frequently how do we keep the tenured faculty employed and important,
push foreign languages on students for example

Where there is money there is agenda, where there is research there is corporate
sponsors, government largesse

Higher education is about to crumble in the decades ahead
