A key point is getting missed here -- HokieAl 03/22/2018 10:26AM
Another key point being missed here is impact it could have -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2018 11:19AM
I'm not opposed to the idea. -- hokiehunter07 03/22/2018 10:04AM

First answer this: What is the purpose of a university? -- CPRVHokie 03/22/2018 09:50AM
Root problem is cost has gotten prohibitive for many majors -- bigbadbird 03/22/2018 09:35AM
And I think college and health care have the same root problem -- Tafkam Hokie 03/22/2018 1:20PM
I didn't mean to duplicate your post...but we are in agreement. ** -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 09:49AM
Sounds like we have similar experience- just not as bad as what is coming -- bigbadbird 03/22/2018 09:50AM
Yeah, I was VERY fortunate that my parents could afford to... -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 10:01AM
My parents paid for undergrad- we paid for grad school -- bigbadbird 03/22/2018 10:03AM

This is another example of making colleges about making money vs. learning -- WestyHokie 03/22/2018 09:21AM
There is pretty strong evidence that college isn't about learning already -- Tafkam Hokie 03/22/2018 1:15PM
I think the insane inflation of the cost of college has made this... -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 09:47AM
I actually think your point opposes universities eliminating majors -- WestyHokie 03/22/2018 10:15AM
I never suggested that the majors be eliminated. -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 10:30AM
Wanting and needing are two things. -- hokiehunter07 03/22/2018 10:20AM
Cost has risen due to available funds. -- hokiehunter07 03/22/2018 10:14AM
I agree, the inflation isn't sustainable. -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 10:26AM
Also - kids are entering school with intent of say- engineering -- bigbadbird 03/22/2018 09:56AM
Yes, very good point. That does them no favors. -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 10:03AM

If they don't need to know calculus, why teach them algebra or geometry? -- EDGEMAN 03/22/2018 11:48AM
