Almost everyone here used to engage in conversation with them on their websites but were banned for their opinions. Pornographer Chip White, owner of Degreeinfo used to say it wasn't a democracy. This is a democracy. Most people here simply don't believe that government provides the best model for higher education nor that they are effective at regulating it. Government is best at perpetuating a system of more professors working less hours with rapidly rising tuition.
An example would be George Gollin of the U of Illinois who teaches one intro physics class for around $100,000 per year. I wonder why the laziest civil servants are the most vocal when it comes to defending a crumbling system?
