@BryanAlexander Many tout about enrollment, but stay rather quiet about retention rates and FOUR-year graduation rates. Seems that similarly to the million being the base unit of higher ed institution deficit, the SIX years has become the base time to graduate.

@KeilDumsch At a time when everyone is all about getting hands-on experiences as early as possible, their undergrads will only have access to those experiences in their 3rd year! Maybe it's not really a 4-year program but 6 or 7 years!

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@BryanAlexander Your welcome, Bryan. I'm curious to find out about the results from your students. Keep us updated!

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@BryanAlexander Either one. Some faculty, including tenured ones, have been quitting their job lately, and more will probably do in the coming years. We've also seen several faculty walkout as protest this fall.

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@BryanAlexander In reality, many if them have already walked out, and are looking for alternatives. More than supporting faculty walkout, the cost is likely the reason. Very high mid-term W rates.

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@BryanAlexander Yes, it is! Unfortunately! Other reasons for the walkout might be in support of colleagues being fired or because of the abuse of power of the Board of Regents!

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@BryanAlexander Or faculty being snatched by numerous start-up companies launching alternative credentials or boot camps.

[Keil Dumsch @KeilDumsch]

@dintersmith The degree system (which started in the Middle Ages) has always been a flawed and prohibitively expensive concept. All along we should have had education and hiring based on skills acquisition, not a four-year process of completed coursework.

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@KeilDumsch @jselingo @ucsantabarbara @mattbarnes4kids From the floor plans, it looks like this building could be converted into a prison when the declining enrollment will not warrant its use! Or could be used by squatters! In that case, no windows = no broken windows!

[Isabelle Lagadic @IsabelleLagadic]

@KeilDumsch @GRogow @anfuller @PatThomas1318 Agree with costs going out of control. Young professionals with entry-level salaries end up having to pay the equivalent of a mortgage for their student loans. In the meantime, that money is not "invested" in goods like cars, houses, etc. that will benefit the rest of the economy

[Keil Dumsch @KeilDumsch]

The degree requirement in hiring has become a human rights issue. People have a fundamental human right to enter the world of work without having to pay an expensive and time-consuming fee. That is what the degree system has become @byron_auguste

@biblioracle @KeilDumsch @Ahighervision The operating costs are invariably linked to the number of students. More students (which is the goal of every college) increase the cost. The initiatives taken to attract more students are also more and more costly. Taxpayer money will never be able to cover those costs.

"I could use our own university system as a case study in how political power often wins out over scientific knowledge" And so many of us could unfortunately do the same.
