Get the government out of higher education (better yet, all education). From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
because we’re not going to have better or smarter guys next time
“obviously, this issue is hideously complex and basically unfixable.”
this is a common mantra. it’s also totally wrong. this issue is incredibly simple and easily fixable. we just need to courage and fortitude to rip off the band aid and let the chips fall where they may.
key salient:
education and research in america constitute a gordian knot situation and such situations need lateral thinking to resolve. they cannot be fixed within the construct that made the mess. a new frame is required.
example:
for decades the marxist/aggrievement-cultists, funded by an endless firehose of federal money and the massive DEI and partisan pressure, have utterly dominated universities.
protected and enabled by this backstop they have created schools and departments that are irredeemably rancid and will perceive anything even close to handed as “far right extremism.” they rage and war at anyhting not “just like them” and “university as struggle session cauldron” where the rights of a tiny group of unhinged and unselfgoverning “protest majors” funded by outside agencies are given not only precedence but pride of place over the kids that just wanted to learn engineering has increasingly become the rule rather than the exception and even now such schools fight back to keep “boys who tuck” on the girl’s sports teams.
