      if "refund" means "claw back tuition from endowments to pay back students who took out hundreds of thousands to study the humanities" fine otherwise naw I would prefer not pouring 300B into our institutions that mostly exist to send youth into eternal debt slavery

      Private lenders get nerfed. -Physcial infrastructure investment and expanded funding for some other state schools and HBCUs. -Job Training, Work Study, Apprenticeships on steroids. -Community College funding also on steroids. So I’m ok with this. I guess.

      And I mean, given the possiblity that Republicans get vibe-checked in the Senate, this seems like it has a very real chance of going through. So. A white pill. Maybe?

      I'm just really skeptical of this Most people would be better-served by a cheap and fast vocational program than a liberal arts program I've taught too many students to think there's some kind of universal value here--or rather, that students come in prepared to find that value

      The issue is that we’ve let students fuck around — unfortunately on their own dime. Now that this is on our dime, I think GenEd should be wiped out and students railroaded into a major if they want to apply. When I applied abroad I had to apply for my program right away.

      And while I think there is a top-heavy higher education vs. trades issue in place, I also think we’re all moving towards that place anyways so as long as companies continue to require degrees for everything. I think it’s on us to make them quality though.

      This is anecdotal on my end but when students can’t find jobs, a lot of it seems to be tied in with them having done nearly fuck all in college, alongside the lack of internships or basic networking. In my university, internships and networking are required to graduate.

      I think the problem facing us is a shit system that demands very little but charges very much on the one hand, and an unmotivated student who very little has been expected from.

      What do you expect them to be like after twelve years of industrial public education where everything is preordered and initiative is punished? Twelve years of having to ask permission to take a piss and you think there's a chance they're going to be proactive at uni?

          I mean dude word asf, our schools are so pathetic so you won’t find me complaining. Having spent a year in a German Gymnasium I honestly question how we got so far. Unless we reform K-12, what is your idea for a stop-gap fix to bridge the intellectual divide?

          Unless we turn 2 years into what Gymnasiums are, and prepare students to get through the reminder of their 4 years with flying colors?
