Expert predicts 25% of colleges will fail in the next 20 years

1. 25% that's all? Bad study. Open your eyes.

2. People came to realize how irrelevant present day education really is as it is.
   These days you go to college to get brainwashed instead getting an education.

3. Harvard, talk about one that should close, but hey, when you have over 40 billion endowment.

4. No, its mainly paying the administrative side.

5. By the looks of this generation! Are you all surprised! Dont look like school's of any kind have a positive on these kids!

6. I don't feel sorry for any of these closing schools. Start teaching something kids can actually use. Quit the indoctrination. Time for trade schools to emerge and online too. It's the way of the future.

7. Close all schools they can't teach children to read or write but every year they get more money arrest the teachers admin and City government! Should be free then thanks for your Marxists propaganda

8. Ahhh duhhhhh

9. I was sad to have learned my Undergrad institution was closing, after graduating students for 125 years. As an alumni, I've donated endless time, money, and effort to retain college students. However, I also see that not only. is college expensive, but a lot of students just don't want to go. And they don't want a degree only to work a 9-5 for the next 40 years. Which I can completely respect. I think aside from lack of funding, there needs to be more spending on advertising, retention efforts, and the ability to lower the costs of attendance for students. There also needs to be incentives – like free room and board with tuition. This could slash a lot of the costs associated with college. Or, they could waive technology fees or enrollment fees altogether. It could be better with more creativity among smaller schools.

10. Good

11. "Higher Administration costs" Ding ding

12. 25% college closures in the next 20 years?
    Good. Most of them teach useless drivel anyway. Turn them all into trade schools. Good for the student. Good for America.

13. It's not enrollment. Did you know that colleges save the money you pay them, and then invest that in various things like stocks, bonds, and commodities? If there had been good or even decent investors working for the university they might be fine today.

14. Most students would be smarter to learn a trade as an apprentice so they can get paid while they learn and have no debt. Plumbers, electricians, car mechanics, welders, nurses, oil field workers, and many other skilled workers earn a good living and have not gone to college

15. Is The Oberlin School for Advanced k-12 Remedial Studies on the list for closure?🐒🚽

16. I'm glad i gave up the idea of going to graduate school and being an instructor.

17. Waiting patiently

18. This is what happens when there is no free market! Stupid government money for student loans. Colleges do not keep up.

19. When I went to a state college in Minnesota late 80s my tuition was $1800 per year. I didn't get any assistance.

20. Everyone now aspires to become an influencer, Onlyfans model or expert on street businesses

21. Voters have chosen woke govt and colleges, and that is destroying America. Woke lunatics are running the asylum. It will only get worse. Higher ed is over.

22. so in america school , college are the same thing ? , and what about universities

23. how about not keeping it as a business model and make it more about education ✋😳🤚 and meanwhile other nations found a way to give free education smh 🤔

24. It's a barn.

25. Not soon enough for the systemic antisemitic propoganda centers.

26. this all has to do with the economy and foreign policy

27. And with all that, they never blame the price inflation on the financial problems. They have been price gouging kids since the 80s.

28. It’s not worthy !!

29. It will be a beautiful world when colleges are replaced. I think with less people going to college due to a smaller population it will Serve as a slap in the face and a kick in the nuts (deservedly so) that colleges need to stop wasting money on amenities and try and be price competitive.

    I think college will still be necessary for a few careers but i think that trades and certificate programs will take a larger portion of the pie as they have proven themselves to be more competent and less wasteful then University's.

    To those that read this i wish you luck in your indevers, and advice to look at multiple avenue to achieve them.
    I'd still recommended going to college if necessary but consider many possible options.

30. Many of these small schools need to switch to a vocational and tech training model, yes that will mean lower graduation rates, but it just might keep the school alive and attract more students.

31. Colleges have been a failure system for a while already. Just speak to a college graduate

32. Higher education is already replaceable in many subjects by low-cost and free options from an increasing variety of courses with qualified instructors and improved teaching methods. Diplomas are losing their value in ways that the academic community may fail to acknowledge until the business model of universities (charging students tens of thousands of dollars for something they can easily learn online) implodes. Specialized education may be an exception for now, but alternative options are only improving, and they aren't going anywhere.

33. I don't like higher education. It's not for me. I don't go to the university. Age limits 18-39. I'm 42. It's too late. I don't have a life in the future. I'll throw it away.

34. If I were to do it again, I would do community college for 2 years and uni for 2 years with summer classes to get my degree in 4 years, take the fe exam in my final semester, and jump right into the workforce as an MEP mechanical and plumbing engineer at age 22. Then buy a starter home pre COVID on a 15 year fixed rate mortgage 3.5% apr or lower. Get a professional engineering license at 26 years of age.
