@Sophistifunk *sigh*
educational institutions should be about furthering the sum of human knowledge. They should be elite. They should only contain people who further this aim.
They are currently NOT that. Because we think everyone can go to university. NO, THEY CAN NOT. Just like not everyone can code. It takes a special kind of autist to write good code. And it takes a different kind of autist to be an academic.
The elite that deserve an education are being underserved as a result.
