Special thanks to Victor Davis Hanson ► ► ► https://victorhanson.com/ 📚 The End of Everything: https://shorturl.at/N57eE Are universities failing students and society? In this video, Victor Davis Hanson discusses the current state of higher education. He argues that universities are churning out graduates burdened with massive debt and insufficient skills, contributing to a national crisis. Hanson explains how the push for diversity and equity has led to the dilution of academic standards and the devaluation of degrees. Many young people, especially men, are not marrying, buying houses, or having children, partly due to the financial strain of student debt. Hanson suggests that universities should be transparent about the true costs and potential earnings of different degrees and should take responsibility for student loan defaults. He also highlights the problem of universities rejecting highly qualified students to meet diversity quotas, leading to a decline in the quality of graduates. Employers are now favoring graduates from less prestigious schools because they are better trained and less entitled. Hanson calls for a revolutionary movement in education to prioritize practical skills and accountability, moving away from the current system that prioritizes credentials over competence.
