John Derbyshire on What to Do about American Colleges and Universities [brief]

These are from tonight's Radio Derb transcript which won't be publicly released until mid-week, so this is just for your enjoyment now.  

He first quotes the late immigration foe Paul Streitz:

The IRS has strict guidelines as what is permissible for other non-profit organizations: only a certain percentage of revenue can be used for fund raising and administration.

But there appear to be no such guidelines for colleges and universities. So there are art museums, squash courts, luxury dorms, climbing walls, million-dollar college presidents, multi-million dollar loans to administrators, diversity deans, sustainability deans, bloated salaries, excessive staff, and minimal teaching hours (six hours of teaching class per week).

Congress should require the IRS to create and enforce such guidelines on colleges and universities. This would give them a choice: either colleges economize and reduce tuition, or lose their non-profit status and be taxed by federal, state and local authorities.

Derb's own, better plan:

Drastic? Well, it's milder than my solution. My solution would be, after a suitable warning period — 48 hours would be about right — to call in the U.S. Air Force to bomb all the colleges and universities to rubble; then, when the smoke has cleared, call in the Army Corps of Engineers to plow the rubble under and sow the ground with salt.

Our colleges today are centers of indoctrination in a false and poisonous ideology, that is dragging our civilization down into self-loathing and self-annihilation. Bomb, burn, plow, and salt.

And no, I wouldn't make an exemption for the math faculties. They are as bad as the rest — I've been documenting that in my Diaries. In any case, you don't need special buildings or equipment to do math. Isaac Newton did his best work in a year sitting at home alone.

Of course, we'd leave Hillsdale College alone.  And maybe Grove City College ..
