Meanwhile, Public Support for Higher Ed Is Tumbling

More good news: Americans now agree with something we’ve been saying for six years: universities are the nation’s greatest financial swindle.

The latest polling shows that voters are on to the college scam of taxpayer subsidies to fund indoctrination, woke stories, and exploding tuition costs.

The new NBC poll shows the number of Americans saying college is worth the cost has fallen from 53% percent in 2013 to just 33% today.

Specifically,  just one out of three agree a four-year college degree is “worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime,” while 63% say it’s “not worth the cost because people often graduate without specific job skills and with a large amount of debt to pay off.”

Remarkably, even among voters with college degrees, only 46% now see college as worth the cost: “They’re now seen as out of touch and not accessible to many Americans,” says Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt, of Hart Research Associates.

Indeed, the average, inflation-adjusted cost of public four-year college tuition for in-state students has doubled since 1995. Tuition at private, four-year colleges is up 75% over the same period.

The market is adjusting. Interest in technical, vocational and two-year degree programs is soaring as students look for any pathway that can get them into the labor force more quickly – and without a huge helping of indoctrination.
