It's so much about the boomers that saying "It's not all their faults" lets them skate too much.

but being from a upper middle class family my parents paid for three years and took out a loan for the last

It's mostly an excuse the academics use to argue for more money.

Mostly from the state.

Because if the gravy train keeps flowing, no reforms are necessary.

It's just the opinion of some retarded person named DOGASS why even listen if you don't like it?

And the price can keep going up but stay hidden.

Raising tuitions an issue of concern to me

It is for everyone.

especially knowing how much they get from alumni

and fund raising

You realize I'm not a Boomer right

kek

Who said you were?

Even if you went for a practical degree, the university could've made a shitty class a prerequisite for getting it.

The Unis don't usually drop tuition. Even when they succeed and get more money from the state.

They just make a new program or administrative office.

And then when funding dries up...

another issue is where they spend their funding on

"We shouldn't be run like a business"

Like speech policing

and the lack of say departments have in it

The thing is that if you simply fork over money they'll never really change.

And despite everything, too many workplaces still require a degree.

It's pathetic.

You'd have to force the issue legislatively or make it really desperate.

financially

the top admins typically handle the money without regards to department needs or wants

Agreed in part.

Most admins do listen.

so many question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjFbsUby5Lo

And alot of admins are actually faculty members in deparments.

Still doing work.

yea thats true

all of which are answered with "oh japan"

idk for sure but is bureaucracy part of the issue?

The Bennett Hypothesis is the only really long-lasting theory. And the academics hate it.

ie too much of it

It very much is.

makes sense

And I have lots of arguments to that effect.
