Colleges are total scam at this point!
Universities need to become more relevant and teach critical thinking not indoctrination
"15 schools charge more than $100,000 a year" just might be a good thing, might keep some young people from getting indoctrinated into ultra left wing insanity. AI will be the college in just a few years anyway, the smarter it gets the dumber todays youth will become.
It is great to be inclusive. But should still be highly qualified. Can not hire under qualified candidates just to be DEI.
This woman is full of contradictions. 😂😂😂
More students need to go into trades
These idiot reporters aren’t telling that these Ivy leagues are actually free for students with families of low incomes.
Syracuse New York is a dumpster fire.
lucky I graduated with a full ride. Need based scholarship saved my future
Price and value are two completely different things.
How many get good jobs?
They could start to learn to use technology by junior high school…but be sure they know the basics most important!
Higher education become a scam. Self-education could be the way to go and it is a lot cheaper. Let's all the colleges price themselves out of business. 👌👍
400k to go to college. If parents just left that in the stock market it will be 1 million dollars in 10 years. Is the kid going to earn 1 million in 6 years after the 4 year degree?
Being an Ivy League graduate nowadays it's an embaresment .🫣🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
republican tax cuts to state schools have been happening for 40 years, pushing costs onto students
Why stop at Harvard? Every good college in the country is similar to them. Just home school your children. These nut jobs are targeting Harvard because harvard has guts and the money to stand up against this lunatic administration.
True, but keep in mind that Fox is woke. Question everything you see/hear on Fox.
If you pay me $100, I could teach you to hate America, even though I don't. See how much money I could save you?!
Sounds like we should have taxpayer funded post-secondary education in non-private schools. And yes, this would include trade and vocational schools.
🎵"We know it might sound funny, but give us all your money, enroll in Harvard U todaaay!!!!!"🎵
Despite deranged right wing gibberish to the contrary being "woke" is good, while being anti-woke is, well, kind of evil. The Golden Rule, in all its variations, as well as the story about "The Good Samaritan" is all about being "woke": treating people as how you would want to be treated and showing concern for others, even if they are complete outsiders — which in turn means that if you are anti-woke, you're basically a hypocritical, fake Christian, at the very least.
I like
She’s absolutely right ❤
Banks and people working in banking should realise that yall are getting rich from the money of the ordinary people of America, this is a failed system that is going to put the citizens of America in debt.
Why not start having entrance exams & highly subsidised tuition ? China does this, korea does this, india does this and so many other big counties do this.
In America education is only for the rich. The rest can beg.
What’s different now is value people are assessing does the institution have value and that’s new perceived rep reputations no longer count
Right hand pain to me
They are sponsored by debt. That's the main issue. It should be illegal. Of course, educating yourself is highly recommended. That's the only way to boost human cognition. 💁
Trump isn't fixing anything.
Turn people into manipulators, and they do not create any of the intellectuals that I see in my environment. They’re all idiots with fake diplomas, giving them full rain to commit fraud. I don’t believe all these people that go to colleges are intelligent enough to even go to college or a world class university. I’m surrounded by idiots. That should’ve never got a degree stead of intellect.
So students can get more worthless degrees.
I used to think it was to be all and I even took a night class there back in the 90s just so I could say I attended Harvard. You couldn’t pay me to go there now.
College is just not worth the cost.
GO HARVARD!! KEEP RAISING TUTION!!! STAY ON TRACK! STRENGTHEN WOKE POLICIES! MATH IS RACIST! SCIENCE IS SUBJECTIVE! REALITY IS WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY. 2+2 = 5. SHOW JUST WHAT A HARVARD DEGREE IS REALLY WORTH.
Don't pay it. Not absolutely not worth it. Get a trade. Learn the business and start your own business as a contractor. You are well off and AI proof. Burrow money to buy businesses, not a corrupted education worth ZERO.
The colleges are able to charge that much is because they can. It is capitalism. Stop blaming the woke thing.
Yes Prayers for President Trump family Safety 🙏
If you work for a living , there's no need for big tent 😮
Historically, human endeavors arc, education has arc'd, graduates of elite universities cannot name all 50 states, date the American revolution, make change, write in cursive which is a fore cursor to critical thinking.
Aren’t those schools for rich people??? Like in England?
Don’t some of those schools have billions saved somewhere???
Merry Christmas 🎅 🤶 🎄 Happy New year ✨️
People who love jobs but hate job creators 😢 Think Green 💚
On average, a college graduate wii earn $1 million more over their lifetime then a HS graduate.
Not one of those colleges are worth it. Trade schools are needed and not run by these anti-american professors or administration's
Thank you fox
