mediocrity of teaching at high tuition universities

[Albert Hidel]

Are traditional universities just a haven for politicking leftists?

Yes.

The toss of coins that determined whether your course was to be just mediocre or even sub-par was the same whether Yale or Wallawalla community college was concerned.

Yes. So why pay for Yale when the same or better is available at the local JC or state uni for 1/10th the price or less? Some people need a Cadillac to go grocery shopping, the rest of us do fine with a Ford. The more choices available the more people see that "RA" and "Quality" are not correlated concepts.
