Don't forget the swelling of superfluous administration roles and salaries, including bureaucratic roles whose entire job entails manufacturing problems to justify the existence of their position.

- anonymous5133 9y agoWhen I was in school the common trend they had was requiring some foreign language course for ALL students. It was sold with all the traditional rhetoric of making students more well rounded but at the same time you aren't getting more well rounded if you are adding an extra 1 grand to your student loan. It never got implemented though because they didn't have enough budget to implement it. Mind you, this requirement was in addition to all the existing courses you had to take (40 for a BA degree).
