Sure. Eliminate ALL tenure and institute a code of ethics requiring total expulsion from ALL university employment across the U.S. for plagiarism, academic dishonesty, lying on background checks, visa or citizenship fraud, felonies and violation of the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

Background info: my brother has been a Communist organizer for the past 20+ years. He is also a college professor. He organizes wet behind the ears students to engage in protests against issues he is paid to organize against. The students are his cannon fodder. If the protest is shut down, the students suffer, not him. If the protest is successful, he gets paid. And believe me, I have tried to shut him down many times, but the entire system exists to support him.

Communists and Islamists largely run our universities now. Affirmative Action and DEI were just excuses to load educational and governmental institutions up with radicals. Want to fight back? Boycott the Ivy League and don’t hire any graduate coming out of it, Research the schools your kids want to attend and don’t be afraid to say no to financing bad schools. There are few good schools left, but those should get your money instead. Do your research.

No, let them fail.
They deserve no less.
We could say their failure is karma for their poor behavior. Scholars they are not.

Not sure we can blame the “elite” universities for all of those mentioned. LBJ attended and graduated from SW Texas Normal College, in San Marcos, and Carter was a graduate of the Naval Academy. A “normal” college was back then what a college geared toward training teachers was called.

No and who cares anymore?

Some behaviors, some words and deeds are unforgivable.

Considering the proficiency level of HS graduates, a 4 year degree is more like a satisfactory HS education plus 1. I wish Mr. Hanson would have said something about the remedial classes necessary before even taking a first year college level class. Perhaps that’s how they get away with the non-meritocratic faculty hiring. Somebody has to teach the kids how to read big words, do the times tables and wrestle with the “gozintas”.

It would be a wonderful thing to see these phony Communist Leftist Islam supporting indoctrination centers go out of business.

So tired of hearing about our B.S. elite universities. Why are they elite? Because the “elites” and our corrupt leftist media say they are? Considering the socio/economic disaster the so-called elites have created post WWII, perhaps it’s time for another name. After all the “elites” gave us Wilson, FDR, JFK, Johnson, Carter, the Clintons, Obama and Joe Biden. Quite a poison ivy league track record.

Conservatives should employ progressive tactics when next in power. Tax all DIE university endowments at 100%, end all federal grants and loans, and use the plunder to cancel all student loan debt (without burdening taxpayers).

Any student having an elite diploma during the last 20 years or so will always be suspect as a meritless affirmative action hire – but this presumption can be rebutted by excellent performance on the job.
