In my blog I’ve
mostly focused on the immense educational fraud of higher education today: I
can’t help it, this is what is most important to me. The fake classes, fake
students, and fake degrees of our leadership is very troubling to someone who
sincerely wants to live an honest life and also work in higher ed.
The fake
leadership is a big part of the problem: despite the self-awarded spiffy
titles, fancy degrees, cadres of sycophants and freakish salaries, these guys
have no particular skill at what they do. Oh sure, they’ll bleat about how
their leadership is responsible for the immense growth of higher education in
the last few decades, but the student loan scam totally changed the business
model.
Before the loan
scam, the way an institution grew was to attract the best people, who would
come based on the strength and reputation of the institution. The “best”
people, by definition, can’t be 100% of the population. It took real talent to
grow an institution under these conditions.
After the student
loan scam, the way an institution grew was to offer “free money” to anything
with an opposable thumb. Any chucklehead can grow a business if “customer” is
simply “someone who wants money.” I can’t even begin to count the number of
“leaders” I’ve worked under who’ve taken credit (and huge cash bonuses) for
growth that, obviously, they bore no responsibility for. My workload doubles,
their pay quadruples, and then they move on to another institution. There’s no
accountability for any of it.
And so higher
education is loaded down with leaders with wildly varying levels of competency,
with a marked skewing towards “incompetent.” Because of this, frauds, wide open
frauds, operate on many campuses now. Students often see the obvious frauds and
think, with some level of accuracy: “If these chuckleheads can’t notice half
the classes on campus are fake, they can’t notice a bunch of other things are
fake, either,” and try to get away with something.
Many campuses are supposedly
tense with racial tension, but this tension is wildly over-exaggerated. Don’t
get me wrong, there have always been racial divides...anyone with eyeballs can
pop down to the student union or the like and note that, if you pick a table,
the people sitting around that table generally have the same skin color.
But…that’s all
it’s ever been on every campus I’ve been to. Nevertheless, the students see all
the other frauds on campus, and figure admin just doesn’t care, or just can’t
tell the difference, and decide “hey, maybe we too can hoax something and get
stuff for it!”
Again, most every
campus I’ve been on has had such hoaxes come up regularly. Usually, these
things are so stupidly executed that they don’t hold up under scrutiny…and the
hoax is quietly buried. Other than a few faculty paying attention, nobody on
campus knows, and it hardly makes the news, if at all.
Sometimes, a Poo
Bah or political hack tries to use a hoax for gain; this can fail spectacularly
such as the Duke
lacrosse case. Granted, the Duke
case only failed because it was open to scrutiny to the general public.
Usually, admin gets a lockdown on information, and can use even a blatant hoax
for incredible personal gain—such as U. of
Delaware, which will spend $1,000,000 a year until the end of time, in response
to a hate crime everyone agrees didn’t happen.
Students pick up on
this stuff, and figure “I can have a payday, too.” These hoaxes really are
common, more common than the average person realizes, so I thought I’d
highlight a few more.
Much like at Duke, the
students screwed up by claiming an actual crime happened: that got the police
and investigators involved. Of course, when everything is on camera, it doesn’t
help:
Security footage showed that the incident actually occurred in the opposite manner that the students initially claimed.
Where do you reckon the students got the
idea that, as a group, they could say the exact opposite of the truth and it
would work out fine? I maintain that students walking around on campus, and
seeing lie after lie being told as truth, has something to do with it.
If it weren’t for the footage, I suspect
the students would have had an easier time with it. The Poo Bah certainly was
unwilling to miss this opportunity to spew the usual blather:
“This is a good opportunity
for all members of the University to teach each other and to learn from each
other. Let us engage even more deeply. Let us listen even more carefully. And
let us see each other even more clearly.”
Admin
won’t bother expelling these students—that would cut into growth. I suspect if
admin had the guts to come down on fraudsters, the hoaxes would be less common.
It isn’t just faux-racism that gets
hoaxed. The rise of the Social Justice Warrior
(SJW) movement (and the “lies are truth if you shout them loud enough,
and you’re the right gender/orientation” mantra which seems key to the
ideology) has also created people who honestly believe that blatant lies are
perfectly acceptable:
Lesbian Professor Cold-Cocked HER OWN FACE Then Swore Random Guy Beat Her Up At Toby Keith Concert
Again, unlike at U of Delaware, this was open to public scrutiny, and so the hoax is known as such. While students are motivated by self-interest, the SJW
Poindexter
made up the story and cold-cocked herself in her own right eye “because she
wanted to raise awareness about the social hardships of people in the LGBTQ+
community,” according to court documents.
Seriously, at this stage, it’s clear the
worst social hardship of “people in the LGBTQ+ community” is the real risk they
might punch themselves in the eye. Honest, gay hate crime
hoaxes on campus are just that common. Ok, I
grant such hoaxes are common off-campus too…but the point I want to make is the
leadership on campus is so clueless/spineless that fakers get away with it
quite often on campus—the whole kangaroo campus court system
makes it very easy.
Because our institutions of higher
education are such frauds, perpetrated by the professional fraudsters that run
the systems, amateurs will continue to be inspired to try the same—much like
physical fights tend to break out after boxing and wrestling matches, lies seem
to inspire more lies.
So, in conclusion, I ask the read to
consider the following, and ask how likely this is legit:
Jewish frat covered in anti-Semitic graffiti at Brown University
They’re actually claiming a history of
anti-Semitism at Brown U but…what? Seriously if we got rid of the student loan
scam, our institutions would only have people that cared about education on
them, and would, likely, be run by people with actual competence (because it
does take some ability to run legitimate institutions, instead of huge
money-laundering schemes). Wouldn’t being legitimate be better than the huge
laughingstocks that are so many of our campuses today?
