Businesses that use a bachelor's degree requirement as blunt hiring filter. Loose credit that can't be discharged in bankruptcy. Colleges are in a rankings arms race instead of prioritizing affordability.
- newsclues 4y agoSo there is an issue with the lending system, that allows the bloated admin to continue to exist. Colleges are investing in amenities instead of quality, affordable education, because the bloated admin is useless and corrupt, so they spend on big ticket sports facilities and buildings (where does the money go?) to justify the administrative excesses (if you build a $100 million stadium it's easier to justify a few million to renovate the presidents office). The root of the problem is the terrible leadership, that is enabled by the broken funding model. Fixing the funding model won't resolve the leadership problems.
