Hmm maybe you should talk with some of our students because you’re simply wrong, there’s no two ways about it
+and as for job-training/bridge program with age groups, there are literally decades of findings that they don't work at scale, and the reasons are not secret. They don't work at scale even when free. OTOH, almost any selective, small program can work if you take very few.

The purpose of higher education cannot be reduced to training people for jobs. You can train people to become skilled workers in 6 months but will the privilege they are given save the environment, the society, the economy for all?

I didn’t say removing the best students from other schools! But I read your who we accept material—and it’s textbook creaming. Even that, you accept very few. We already have an amazing thing in this country: community colleges. They take everyone. They’re woefully underfunded.
