If A Game Sucks, Change the Rules
Something is rotten in academia as evidenced by how pathetic the Presidents performed in front of Congress. It comes into such clear focus, doesn't it? Somehow elite Universities can't find the language to describe why calling for genocide is wrong and against their values. Should we let in students who want to become serial killers? How about misogynists who would like to march in favor of murdering women? How about good old fashioned neo-nazis? If the current construction of elite Universities can't figure out why terrorism and genocidal ideations are inappropriate - maybe we need a new construction. Here are a few thoughts:
1) Get rid of tenure. Seems to me tenure hasn't protected Universities from group-think. So...if it's not serving its function, maybe it's past the expiration date.
2) Fire all the crazy professors. Not so hard, was it?
3) Kick out all the crazy students. Was that so hard?
4) Fire all the crazy administrators.
5) Cut tuition by 25%.
Colleges overnight could be great again.
