It's taken a generation for the young to figure out that the high cost of education is an albatross around their financial future. Once saddled with the loan there is no way for the majority to ever pay it off and then have the American dream. Many of the young have turned to trade schools that will pay off sooner with less financial burden. While the payoff is sooner for making a living, it is not so good in the later years of their lives in the last stages of labor before retirement. That's when the vigor of youth has left and the wisdom of how to do the job shows up but the body is tasked with an increasingly difficult physical performance due to age.

A number of those are Christian/Catholic institutions also. Nones are drying up the student pool. Hardcores go to Bible institutes, which I'm sure are for-profit, of course.

of course you liberald had to make this political. More and more institutions are offering online classes and courses for less money. that is the reason

BTW the Liberal Institutions are not educating they are indoctrinating. Charlie Kirk proved this time and time again

BTW the Liberal Institutions are not educating..

You probably think that just reading books is "indoctrination".

WTF is a "Liberal Institution"?

Everything but Liberty U?

Blah blah blah ... what a bunch of anti-intellectual facist you maga maroons have become. Pushing the limits of insanity. Next up.. Trumpy will attempt to replace university leaders with Trumpy loyalists.


BTW- Charlie Kirk was an ass who is now burning in hell.

I just hope I don't have to shoot you or any your hateful maggat friends before this is all over.

Merry Christmas!!

Now GFY

Billionaires cannot 'save' a college that does not get enough students to apply. These campuses were closed for a reason. Lack of students cause the closures, just as lack of consumers/purchasers cause companies to go out of business. Economics folks - ECONOMICS!
