G.O.P. activists set out to root out the “deep state” at home. An Idaho community college may never be the same.

Rick MacLennan, a former president of the college who was ousted by the trustees in 2021, describes the school as “a canary in the coal mine” — a warning of what awaits local institutions across the country as fiercely partisan and disruptive cultural battles spread into new corners of public life. He and other critics of the trustees see parallels with Gov. Ron DeSantis’s efforts to remake New College, a state-run liberal arts school in Sarasota, Fla., as a conservative bastion.

Oops. Maybe the strangle home that the left has had on higher education for decades is starting to loosen. Sucks don't it?

Rapidly declining University demand will require that a lot of the supply goes away. The WOKE completely failed to think through removing education and rapidly ramping up the costs by massive bureaucratic bloat.

Unless one wants to be a WOKE Commissar or wants to be cheap labor for a very corrupt (and now being burned to the ground by the WOKE) science establishment there is little reason to go to University. WOKE accreditation and labor exploitation (just look at how many adjuncts there are, and how little they get paid) is about all the Failed University offers now.

Hillsdale College still functions.....there might be a handful or two others that I have not heard about....but there are not very many.
