    More broadly, far & away the biggest threat to classics, philosophy etc are neo-liberal university boards & administrators who prefer vocational programs. But these get only a fraction of the attention as people who have no real power (the fabled SJWs)https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1384379371327299590 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    People are trying to culture war this, but the classics are actually being eliminated as part of the university's "prioritization efforts" and the students of the Kwame Ture Society for Africana Studies are campaigning to save the department. https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/1384293206364356623 …

        "SJWs are ruining everything" is a convenient distraction from the Snidely Whiplashes on the boards, isn't it?

        About 75 percent of stand up comedy in the 90s and 2000s was making fun of liberal arts majors on college tours. It was also a big Fox News topic.

        And Mike Rowe was funded by Koch and other conservative networks to push this messaging as well

        As I get older, this trend becomes more and more horrifying. Had I studied something tied to immediate market demands as an UG, I’d have been extremely well positioned for project management and print marketing at ExxonMobil.

        How many times are we required to read the Iliad? Because I honestly felt like my first 2 years of college were high school 🏫 redux.

        I think mid-level do-nothing administrators focused on fundraising for new buildings have found common cause with the kind of fake-activist hustlers who put on seminars for corporate hr departments. Real revolutionaries/activists recognize the value of the Classics.

        the way the culture warriors square this is by saying that the humanities have already been defeated from within by subversive elements, so that their institutional structures actually deserve to be destroyed and replaced with STEM programs
