Not going to argue with you regarding the downfall of American higher education. I’m definitely sending my kids to college, but since I’m paying I’m going to determine where and at this point there aren’t too many that aren’t too liberal.I'm not convinced that many College Students today could pass a GED test from years ago. Matter of fact I've seen several Graduates that didn't qualify to be a Officer in the Military fail the ASVB for Enlisted. Yes they were trying and they only needed a 32 to meet the minimum requirement for a couple of Military Occupational Specialties.
So unless you graduated from MED School or similar you probably could pass College courses today by just showing up and spelling your name partially correct.
I once thought I’d let them make the decision, but not any more.
