I do agree that bildung should be available to everyone. However, when you're paying $90,000 a year to go to college (not a typo this year at some places) it's only fair to expect some sort of return.
If universities wish to restore the life of the mind, they should make it cheaper to pursue. That's not a jab at the faculty. That's a jab at the administrators.
