Particulary when our universities are being funded by us to the tune of $112 billion a year for tuition alone, not to mention grants, federal research funding etc. I'm picking on U of Michigan but they receive over $1 billion from the federal government annually.There is an endowment tax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_tax
I don't think these large endowments are super ubiquitous considering how many colleges/unis there are out there:
But I agree, those should be chipped away a bit -- an indirect way of taxing the 1% I suppose.
It's gross incompetence driven by strict adherence to a misguided narrative founded in emotion and not substance and an administration chosen based on identity and not qualifications. Harris, Buttigieg, Blinken, Mayorkas, Becerra, Granholm, Austin, Blinken. Really? The seven dwarfs could out perform this group. If you look at their responses to difficult problems their #1 response is to laugh, their #2 response is to say they are doing everything they can and have been working on it for months without saying what they are doing and their #3 response, when all else fails, they gaslight.
When Trump took over the party, I left the party and registered Independent...
Fair, although there is some crazy research that has no practical relevance. My point is the universities should look to its own pot first before it dips into the public cookie jar.
It the primary reason why we decided the UC's weren't a good option for my daughter. Other than Engineering there really aren't many practical and marketable majors at the UC's, primarily just liberal art's degrees. Probably fine if you going to pursue a masters degree, law degree or doctorate, but not super marketable for a job right out of college.
I laugh when I think something is funny. Agree or disagree.
My excessive use of quote marks and parentheses is far worse.

100%. We used to have "shop" classes in high school including auto shop. No more in most cases.On this we can agree. It would be nice if Technical Colleges we viewed more like traditional colleges by HS counselors.
It's like it's frowned upon.
After decades of pushing bachelor’s degrees, U.S. needs more tradespeople
As California budgets millions to rebrand long-disparaged vocational education, there are an estimated 30 million jobs in the U.S. that pay at least $55,000 per year and don’t require a bachelor’s degree.
I'm not here to debate anyone. However, since you asked, I think it's funny when someone makes a blanket statement and presents it like it's a fact. That's a product of the pols and media constantly doing it. "The research funding is worth it though." In my opinion, very little of it is, and even a smaller percentage is worthy of my tax dollars. These institutions are part of a mutli-billion dollar industry. Fund your own research. As for your questions about my education, it matters not. Why would you believe me or even want to know? And again, that's just my opinion and I'm not here to argue or debate it. Just here for a few laughs. So, have a great day...... I am.
