16/ The liberal arts departments in colleges were largely killed 20-40 years ago, hollowed out, and worn as skin suits by SJWs. For those who care, they can follow indie scholars like

17/ and, further, a college is perfectly free to dissolve a department and then reconstitute it a week later under a slightly different name. I thought of that hack already. The trick is that the department can't get USG funding until it has a 15 year track record of ROI jobs.

I mean, he's basically the Wizard of Oz. All big talk and bluster, all of it just smoke and mirrors. Which still makes him the best President of my lifetime.
