Universities in the US in particular are way overpriced and all of the courses are now subsumed with bizarre ideological neo-Marxism. Many futurists are predicting a dire time for universities within a decade, with some prediction that up to 50% will fold. Online training will likely become much better, and universities may not be able to compete with private providers.
I hope to start university studies when my son is finished his education and working..
It will probably be online, but I feel it's considered inferior to in person learning.

This is massively expensive, and one of the reasons fees are absurdly high. These diversity burocrats are paid absurd amounts of money.

Libtard arts, humanities and social science subjects and departments have been hijacked by postmodernist/neo-Marxist ideology. In the worst cases schools are becoming something akin to Maoist, with zealots on staff and in the student body reigning terror on everyone else. You'd have to be asleep at the wheel not to know about this. e.g. Yale is investing millions into diversity tribunals and counseling for all kinds of imagined "trauma."
Woke & neo-Marxist ideology is also being forced into & upon "actual" Science, Economics , Engineering, Architecture, Physics etc.

You are wrong. This guy is the exception. Asians with means want their sons and daughters to get an advanced degree from an Ivy league school.

Peterson, a former tenured professor at the university, said that he could no longer stomach the school's feverish, frenzied, and over-the-top push for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Peterson explained that he could no longer idly stand by and watch what he called "qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students" be overlooked for research positions due to a push for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Peterson said that cancel culture and overt political correctness are also at the nefarious center of secondary education culture's corruption and that otherwise brilliant instructors are made to kowtow to diversity initiatives or lose their livelihoods.
"All of you going along with the [diversity, inclusion, and equity] activists, whatever your reasons: This is on you," he said. "Cowering cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. As the walls crumble. For shame. CEOs: Signalling a virtue you don't possess and shouldn't want to please a minority who literally live their lives by displeasure. You're evil capitalists, after all, and should be proud of it. At the moment, I can't tell if you're more reprehensibly timid even than the professors. Why the hell don't you banish the human resource [diversity, inclusion, and equity] upstarts back to the more-appropriately-named Personnel departments, stop them from interfering with the psyches of you and your employees, and be done with it?"
Frankly, I'm surprised he lasted as ling in academia as he did.

Certainly.
As an employer, I try to recruit staff that will best serve the needs of the business, whilst offering a growing and developing opportunity for the potential hire.
The chaff that universities churn out since the 1990's makes it increasingly difficult to recruit quality staff, because in part, these Institutes of Idiocy spread resources increasingly thin to service unnecessary, irrelevant and wasteful "degrees" that serve no useful purpose.

where the underwater basket weaver degree holders hurt you.
Certainly.
As an employer, I try to recruit staff that will best serve the needs of the business, whilst offering a growing and developing opportunity for the potential hire.
The chaff that universities churn out since the 1990's makes it increasingly difficult to recruit quality staff, because in part, these Institutes of Idiocy spread resources increasingly thin to service unnecessary, irrelevant and wasteful "degrees" that serve no useful purpose.
Keep 'em coming. Happy to introduce you to reality.
The reality is that your 'business needs' have absolutely nothing to do with available fields of study.

I can firmly attest to the fact that the modern graduate borders on the illiterate. They rarely do their own assignments, reports or CV's.
Some of the resumes I received were appalling, clearly indicating which applicants had their CV completed for them and those that did their own.
The problem is do you lean towards those that at least try to do their own, or those that had them professionally prepared and thus present much better.
Either way, whatever it is they teach them in tertiary institutes has no relationship to getting a job in the real world.

What Freud said.
Hiring past students to do assignments has been around since I went to University. I did IT, and one assignment was to create a computer program based on provided parameters. Most of the people in my class asked friends to do it for them.
During an exam, a person who the staff did not recognise was asked to identify himself. He gave the name of another student, but it was clearly not him. He had been hired to sit the exam on behalf of the absent student.
Professional CV writers are common. Generally, they provide a professional and well written resume. But these resumes are very easy to recognise, because you'll see ten identically formatted documents in the stack of applications you receive.
A well written resume by the applicant themselves will, all other things being roughly equal, move ahead of the queue in front of those who hired someone to do it for them. If you cannot write your own resume, your communication expertise must be poor.

It beats working for a living.
They are called "professional students" because for as long as they "study" they get benefits.
In Australia, students fee repayments through taxation don't kick in until their salary goes over a certain amount. No salary, no repayment, no debt.
This is particularly appealing to females doing hobby degrees, because sooner or later they will marry and never earn a separate income.

The University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school started trending on Twitter Thursday, but not because of its academic prowess or comments from a famous alum like former President Donald Trump.
Rather, the school caught the attention of users online after a professor posted about a social experiment she conducted in class that inadvertently showcased just how clueless her students are about middle-class American life.
Nina Strohminger, a professor of legal studies and business ethics at the school, said in a tweet Thursday, "I asked Wharton students what they thought the average American worker makes per year and 25% of them thought it was over six figures. One of them thought it was $800k."

Republican students at a New Hampshire Ivy League college say the school's administration deserted them and made false and embarrassing allegations against them in order to avoid bad publicity by canceling an event under heavy protest by the far-left extremist group Antifa.
Antifa and its sympathizers made several threats against the event including offering money to anyone who assaulted Ngo. A local group called Dartmouth Anarchists also posted violent insinuation about the event on social media, with one member tweeting: "So long as we stand, Dartmouth will never be a safe space for [right-wingers] to spew their misinformation. Wear black to show your solidarity and hide your identity.
Just hours before Ngo was about to take stage, school administrators ordered the live event to be transitioned to a virtual event only. The schools later issued a statement blaming the move on failures of the College Republicans.
"In light of concerning information from Hanover police regarding safety issues, similar concerns expressed by the College Republican leadership, and challenges with the student organization's ability to staff a large public event and communicate effectively (including dissemination of the visitor policy and a prohibition of bags in the building), the College has requested that the Extremism in America panel be moved online," the college wrote in a statement it released after moving the event online.

Ilya Shapiro, vice president and director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, was supposed to assume a new position at Georgetown as a lecturer and as the executive director of the law school's Center for the Constitution on Tuesday. But the dean of the law school said Monday that Shapiro was placed on administrative leave "pending an investigation into whether he violated our policies and expectations on professional conduct, non-discrimination, and anti-harassment."
Following news reports that Associate Justice Stephen Breyer will retire this year, Shapiro took to Twitter to comment on Biden's campaign promise to exclusively nominate a black woman to fill a Supreme Court vacancy if one became available during his term.
"Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog & v smart," Shapiro tweeted, referring to the Chief United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
"Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American. But alas doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors," he said.
"Because Biden said he's only consider black women for SCOTUS, his nominee will always have an asterisk attached. Fitting that the Court takes up affirmative action next term," he said in a follow-up tweet. Then he posted a poll asking whether Biden was racist, sexist, or both for promising to only nominate a black woman.
His tweets sparked intense backlash on social media, with many progressives accusing Shapiro of harboring racist views that should disqualify him from holding a position at Georgetown Law. The mob was led by Slate writer Mark Joseph Stern.

NYU offering Taylor Swift course teaching students 'the politics of race in contemporary popular music,' will 'interrogate whiteness' as it relates to singer's songwriting
New York University is offering a course about Taylor Swift. According to Variety, the class will not only teach about the singer as a "creative music entrepreneur," but also train students about "the politics of race in contemporary popular music." The Taylor Swift class will also examine "American nationalism" and "interrogate whiteness as it relates to Swift's politics, songwriting, worldview."
The Taylor Swift course will be offered at the Clive Davis Institute at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, which has a tuition of $62,062. For fans of the "Bad Blood" singer — who are known as "Swifties" — the class is being offered for the spring 2022 semester, which already began on Jan. 26 and runs through March 9. The class is an elective and will have a maximum of 20 students. The university told the New York Daily News that the course "is indeed at capacity."
The objectives of the course are:
1,Students will develop an understanding and appreciation for Taylor Swift as a creative music entrepreneur; Students will learn to deconstruct the way her creativity and songwriting have made her a durable presence in a quickly evolving music industry;
2. Students will learn about the legacy of pop and country songwriters that have influenced Swift as well as the discourses around "prodigies" in pop music history;
3. Students will gain an understanding of how discourses of youth and girlhood are often exploited in the media and music industries;
5. Students will develop greater sophistication in their artistic appreciation, critical thinking, research, and writing skills.

The University of Virginia (UVA) recently paid tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege of hosting popular critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi for a one-hour lecture on "racial equity."
An investigative reporter at the Daily Wire, Gabe Kaminsky, wrote that UVA paid Ibram X. Kendi "$32,500, or about $541 per minute."

According to a recent report from the U.K.'s Telegraph, staffers at the University of Bristol are encouraged to use preferred personal pronouns when interacting with students or fellow staff.
Some of the newly updated pronouns include "neopronouns," which are defined as "third-person pronouns that are not officially recognized in the language they are used in," such as "ze/zir/zirs" and more.
Other pronouns are referred to as "emojiself pronouns" in which users use icons to represent their gender in electronic communications and even sometimes during spoken conversations, and even "xenic" pronouns in which users can identify themselves as anything they want — including animals, and namely those who identify as "catgender."
Those individuals, according to the report, may use personal pronouns "nya/nyan," which is a Japanese word for "meow."

Frank Stronach: Too many university grads, not enough tradespeople in Canada
For the past several decades, we've been producing far too many social scientists and too few plumbers and electricians. A lot of teenagers nowadays can't even drive a nail into a two-by-four or change a flat tire on a car. The plain truth is, as a society we haven't done a very good job of preparing young Canadians for good-paying careers in the skilled trades.
Even though our economy is becoming increasingly digital, we will still need people to build machines and houses and cars. And a lot of those jobs will require people with skilled technical trades. But unless we start teaching those skilled trades to young Canadians at an early age, we won't have enough people here in this country to make and build things, and once we lose that know-how, our standard of living will drop significantly.
As a country, we need to urgently develop our skills base. If we no longer have the skilled workers and capability to manufacture products, then businesses will be forced to look elsewhere by relocating manufacturing or farming out skilled production to other countries in eastern Europe and Asia. Take my own trade of toolmaking as one example: many toolmakers are now quickly approaching retirement, and there aren't enough toolmakers coming up through the ranks to replace them. Years ago, when I first started out in business, most of the toolmakers I hired were European immigrants like myself, but that source of skilled trades has also dried up.
The great problem we face is that we have drifted away from a real economy, where we manufacture products, to a predominantly financial economy built on financial transactions and the transfer of financial assets. However, a strong and vibrant manufacturing sector — and the technology base it rests on — is vital to our economic health and our standard of living.
I believe we've already reached a tipping point and are entering a new era in which blue-collar workers — people who can build and fix things — will make more money than white-collar workers in paper-shuffling office jobs. That wage gap will only get larger in the years ahead due to the growing shortage of skilled tradespeople.

The Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse announced Thursday that Allyn Walker will join the center as a postdoctoral fellow May 25, Fox News reported.
Walke, while previously an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, stated in an interview last November that "there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they're attracted to at all."
In the Prostasia interview, Walker added that "it's not who we're attracted to that's either OK or not OK. It's our behaviors and responding to that attraction that are either OK or not OK." Walker also went to great lengths to differentiate between pedophiles and minor-attracted people in what seemed to be an attempt to normalize adult attractions to people under the age of 18 as long as those attractions aren't carried out:
Amid controversy over the interview, Walker was placed on administrative leave in mid-November.

Universities in the US in particular are way overpriced and all of the courses are now subsumed with bizarre ideological neo-Marxism. Many futurists are predicting a dire time for universities within a decade, with some prediction that up to 50% will fold. Online training will likely become much better, and universities may not be able to compete with private providers.
Online courses are the way to go. One can chip away at a course while working. Mature age students find attending universities with naive young folk to be mentally draining. Listening to monotonous lecturers is the pits!

Online courses are the way to go. One can chip away at a course while working. Mature age students find attending universities with naive young folk to be mentally draining. Listening to monotonous lecturers is the pits!
I was in a mechanical engineering program for about a year and a half. It's hard to catch up if you miss anything.
Totally...online courses wouldn't be feasible for all, particularly mechanical engineering as it's more hands on with practicals. Business degrees, accounting etc wouldn't be an issue.
I never went to university, but online seems okay for liberal arts degrees.

Universities in the US in particular are way overpriced and all of the courses are now subsumed with bizarre ideological neo-Marxism.

Absolutely. It's good when you can just plug away at something on the side while still living normal routines. Otherwise it's just put on the
back burner and is forgotten about.

I'd like to do it online.

California State University Los Angeles professor of pan-African studies Melina Abdullah issued a tweet telling white individuals not to request to attend a Juneteenth cookout.
"Attention white people... Please don't ask if you can come to the cookout... #Juneteenth is freedom day for Black folks. It should be #Reparations day for white folks," Abdullah tweeted on Monday.
In response to someone who described her comments as "extremely racist," Abdullah replied, "1. Define racism. 2. Why do you think that?"
Someone else asked Abdullah, "Do you seriously exclude your white father on account of his skin color? Is that progress?"

To gather their data, researchers looked into the academic backgrounds of 295,089 faculty members at more than 350 institutions. They found that 80% of all U.S.-trained faculty received their doctorate at just 20.4% of universities. The five most popular universities—UC Berkeley, Harvard, University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Stanford—accounted for one in eight faculty members.
The analysis also showed that, depending on the academic field, only 5–23% of faculty members worked at an institution deemed more prestigious than the one at which they earned their PhD.
"It's not surprising, but it is jarring" to see the data, said Leslie Gonzales, a social scientist who studies higher education at Michigan State University in East Lansing. "There's so much brilliant work and training of brilliant scholars that's happening outside of this tiny sliver" of institutions, and it's being overlooked, Gonzales added.
"Is the system a meritocracy?" asked Daniel Larremore, a computational scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-author of both papers. "In peer review, no; in the spread of ideas, no; and in faculty hiring, surely no."

Students' ACT scores hit a more than 30-year record low, according to the organization that administers the college admissions test. Meanwhile, some universities have opted to drop admission testing requirements altogether.
High school students' results have been declining for six consecutive years. Approximately 1.4 million students took the test this year, an increase from the previous year, and the average composite score declined by 0.3 points from 2022.
According to ACT, between 2022 and 2023, the average mathematics score dropped 0.3 points, English 0.4 points, reading 0.3 points, and science 0.3 points.
The average scores for mathematics, reading, and science were below ACT College Readiness Benchmarks, the minimum scores required for students to have a "high probability" of success in a college-level course.
ACT reported that four in 10 high school seniors met "none of the college readiness benchmarks" this year, with 70% failing to meet mathematics standards.

She gets caught multiple times claiming other people's published works as her own and she says she is a victim of racism.

laudine Gay threw in the towel Tuesday, resigning as president of Harvard University after getting hit with six new plagiarism complaints.
Gay said in a possibly original letter to the school community, "It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president. This is not a decision I came to easily."
"After consultation with members of the Corporation, it has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual," continued Gay.
Gay painted herself as a victim, suggesting she found it frightening "to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus."
Gay became the 30th president of Harvard University on July 1 after evidently playing up her leftist bona fides as Edgerley Dean of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, where she brought new emphasis to climate alarmism and identity politics.
Ahead of her inauguration, Gay stated, "Today, we are in a moment of remarkable and accelerating change — socially, politically, economically, and technologically."
It appears that Gay was unable to keep up with the accelerated change.
Gay's presidency, the shortest-lived in Harvard's history, was dogged in recent months by multiple allegations of plagiarism and concerns over her response to growing anti-Semitism on campus.
The Washington Free Beacon obtained a complaint filed Monday with the university, bringing the plagiarism allegations against Gay to nearly 50, implicating seven of her 17 published works, including her 1997 doctoral thesis.
The latest complaint alleges that in a 2001 article, Gay plagiarized nearly a page of material straight from University of Wisconsin political science professor David Canon's 1999 book "Race, Redistricting, and Representation: The Unintended Consequences of Black Majority Districts" without quotations or so much as a citation.
The university recently launched an investigation into the allegations against Gay.

Graham Parsons quit West Point after the academy dropped critical race and gender theory. His resignation says less about censorship and academic freedom than it does about his own ideological rigidity.
We need more philosophers to resign from their university posts.
Graham Parsons, a philosophy professor at West Point, resigned from his tenured position in protest. Good for him. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded bluntly: "You will not be missed." The question is, what exactly was Parsons' "principled stand" — and should others follow his lead? I think they should, though not necessarily for the reasons one might expect. If more professors who insist on injecting gender ideology into the curriculum refused to teach, we might finally begin to salvage the American university.
