As colleges and universities continue down the path to becoming social justice institutions, potential students are looking elsewhere. As a result, enrollment continues to drop and campus budgets tighten.

According to The Washington Times, this revolt is most prevalent with conservatives who “have become more skeptical about the value of a college degree,” especially after seeing what you have to put up with from the campus crybabies. A Pew Research study noted a drop in how Republicans view colleges these days. Two years ago, 54 percent believed a university education was a positive thing, but that number was down to 36 percent in July.

Gallup found similar drops as only 33 percent of Republicans have any real confidence in a university education; the rest said they have only “some or very little.”

The phenomenon is happening all over, from Oberlin to Kenyon College in Ohio. The Times reports:

According to a document leaked to The Oberlin Review, the school’s student newspaper, the small liberal arts college famous for social justice hoaxes has had trouble attracting and retaining students, missing this year’s enrollment mark by 80 and racking up a $5 million budget deficit in the process…

“This is a year in which you were vulnerable if you were a small liberal arts college in a rural red state and you attract a significant portion of your student body from the East Coast or West Coast, which would certainly be the case with Kenyon,” Diane Anci, Kenyon’s vice president of enrollment and dean of admissions and financial aid, told the Ohio school’s Kenyon Collegian newspaper…

Meanwhile, Evergreen [State College] faces a $2.1 million budget shortfall this year since students took over the campus last spring, barricading themselves in the library, berating administrators on a regular basis and forcing one dissenting professor to teach off campus out of fear for his safety.

The disdain is trickling down to the high school level, where counselors are dealing with wary parents concerned about shipping their kids off to places where activism seems more important than education and job training. Who wants to waste their hard-earned cash on places where Black Lives Matter supporters intimidate administrators with long lists of ridiculous demands, or schools set on fire by Antifa because a conservative speaker visits the campus? 

For $50,000 per year, is it too much to ask that knowledge and students’ First Amendment rights are top priorities?
