Death of Universities: Part 1

The March 2022 issue of Campus Report discusses the potential “death of universities,” Google’s IT certification program, the media’s attacks on Governor DeSantis, and the state of higher education. The pandemic and rising tuition costs are prompting students to seek alternatives to traditional four-year degrees, such as online programs and trade schools. Google’s IT certification offers a more affordable and practical path to a career in technology. The report criticizes the media for misrepresenting Governor DeSantis’s actions and focusing on political narratives rather than his education reforms. The chairman expresses concern about the politicization of education and the influence of teachers’ unions.
