You are a baseball fan, you can't see the forest for the trees. Nah, just fucking with you. Dave, we've all listened to me go nuts about colleges countless times over. Shit like this isn't a different problem; this is an offshoot of how useless college is.
The only people who truly give a shit about the prestige of a university are the child's parents and only when their meet their neighbors' at the edge of the driveway or whilst out to dinner with Mr. & Mrs. Muffethouse.
The kids don't: just a young-age home where responsibility isn't 100% needed yet.
The professors don't: they are tenured and haven't had to alter their lesson plan in decades
The politicians don't: college is the easiest way to get taxpayer money out of the lemmings
The admins don't: They are nothing more than polits themselves
Nobody gives a fuck. As soon as we drop the romantic love of the secondary educational system, we will see these situations with clearer eyes and understand that Calipairi is no different than anyone else in the industry.
