In Our Name: A Message from Jewish Students at Columbia University

[jojoju1998]

I wonder if we're going to see an exodus no pun intended of Jewish students from ivy leagues.

Ron DeSantis was wrong as he completely underestimated how big the rot in academia is . Like it’s insane how big it’s gotten and something needs to be done about it ASAP

Realistically what could be done about it? The only things you could do is deport foreign students who hold views hostile to our allies and cut off federal funding. The later wouldn't impact most of the students, but would rob the opportunity of someone who has the intelligence but lacks the money from attending, potentially locking them out of opportunities to become wealthier after they graduate as they'd lack employment opportunities and the vital connections that are needed to work there. Anything else would be a violation of the 1A, especially if you go down the path of outlawing private universities and nationalizing them in an attempt to crack down on unfavorable viewpoints of the faculty and students.

Which of course would ironically be socialism.

Many things :

- End all DEI programs

- Make universities co-sign on student loans

- reshape higher education in general to be about primarily about improving career prospects than the egalitarian view of it . The government’s job should be mainly economic anyway and not pushing egalitarianism (private donors can do that if they want too)

The vast majority of college students major in business or healthcare fields; relatively less people major in social sciences/humanities, or even the engineering fields, and the classic science fields are even less.

And we are having a shortage in engineers. If you want to talk about career prospects, there you go.
