    Paglia was there, her description of the mechanics of the breakdown of the University from the 60's onward is both rare in quality and important.

    Jordan is no slacker in this conversation, but he is younger and he has spent a lot of time outside of the University so he has less to say about how the collapse happened.

    Great piece except Victor and I disagree about the original sin....I say that it was the GI Bill....that the Universities set out to suck up all that money especially after the Korean conflict then standards and competence of university leadership tanked, then the student rebellions really crushed the place as the universities capitulated in mass just as Allan Bloom said in "The Closing of the American Mind". We do agree that the Universities expanding too fast was the problem though. They were overly stretched, then they crashed, and now we are really fucked.
    Given the majority of those working on vaccines for Covid came up with solutions within a year proves colleges can't be doing that bad, or wait, did you think all those scientists and medical professionals were educated at Trump U?

    Notice how the Left is desperate that there be no conversation about the failure of the University.

    Hey smart guy, what does "the failure of the University" mean? Every university in the United States is a failure? Explain.

    I know one thing, I have never seen anyone so depressed, deflated, or so negative in my entire life!

    The man needs an attitude adjustment or something positive in his life- and fast!
