For the sake of argument, let's humor them and pretend this is entirely accurate.

Though it could be said that it's be hard for the free market to influence universities when they get funding from the government. sure, but there are private universities that receive zero government funding outside of research grants that they earn. unless i am woefully misinformed about how private universities work .... the Koch brothers have been investing billions of dollars to create a conservative foundation to push their politics, but they don't create any institutions of higher learning to influence young people? --- Now Playing: Yakuza 0 (PS4) *(~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~)* <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:888357926] in Why hasn't...

tennisdude818 10/13/17 11:20:01 AM #10:	Higher education in America doesnt exist in a free market because the government backs student loans. The government enables 18 year olds to go into debt to get a degree in why white men and capitalism suck. Absent this backing, would the free market have an appetite to underwrite loans for useless degrees? Why would I lend you $200k to study why you should resent your future employer at Starbucks? --- "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." -Thomas Sowell <cite>tennisdude818 posted [p:888358437] in Why hasn't...

TomNook20 10/13/17 11:59:58 AM #13:	It's hard to push against things that develop naturally. Most people in academia are left leaning, just like most people in stem are men.
