Easy answer:
They created and enabled a culture of rightthink, wrongthink, and identity politics instead of developing curious, critical thinkers. This was done through leadership, tenure, and icing out anyone that dared to arm students with the tools to challenge what have turned out to be silly assumptions. They made it risky to have an opinion as a student, and the students didn't do well in the market that requires adaptability and introspection. The most close-minded people I’ve met are in academia. Many struggle to discuss anything unless it matches their exact viewpoint verbatim. There's no study needed, the world has moved on and decided this education isn't worth the paper it's printed on for many roles.
