My math was wrong on the Asian Flu. 116k Americans out of about 175 million is equivalent to about 218,000 today.Gil Dobie wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 8:24 pmNo mitigation could be why so many died, and this one isn't over yet.

Yep.
Worst Virus outbreaks in the US in the past century+
1918-1919 Spanish Flu (unknown origin)
CDC estimated killed 675,000 Americans out of a population 103 million, equivalent to about 2.2 million Americans out of today’s population of 329 million.
1957-1958 Asian Flu (came from China)
CDC estimated killed 116,000 Americans out of a population 175 million, equivalent to about 160,000 out of today’s population of 329 million.
1968-1970 Hong Kong Flu (came from China).
CDC estimate killed about 100 Americans out of a population of 200 million, equivalent to about 165,000 out of today’s population of 329 million.
2020 Chinese Virus
CDC estimates 73k+ so far.

For both the Asian Flu and the Hong Kong Flu, which both killed over 100k, equivalent to around 160-165k in today’s population, there were no mass shutdowns and stay at homes..

But I agree with others that they need to rein in costs. However I don't think it should be a the expense of academics, nor at the total cost of athletics (instead we can tighten the belt and return to more regional, sensible conferences). My primary issue is the facilities arm race that's being fought, trying to "wow" prospective students and their parents. Universities need to stop focusing on being some "experience" and get back to focused learning; young people will always create their own experiences and memories given whatever the have.

Colleges today are looking for niches because they cannot compete with the big state universities or the established academic powerhouses.
So we have a myriad of schools like Evergreen, catering to parents who want their kids to be steeped in social justice, and Oral Roberts, where they want their kids to pretend they are chaste while fucking everything in sight including the garden hose (and majoring in gender studies or creationism)
As far as I am concerned, if any college or university doesn’t have at least 50% of its course catalogue dedicated to STEM, then it is no loss if it folds

Forbes does a nice job ranking the financial viability of these schools. They said there are 933 not for profit colleges with enrollments greater than 500 students. Ones they gave a D- too in the fall of 2019 (so even before COVID hit) was 177 schools (that's 19% of all schools). The C's and D's, which made up a whopping 72% of the schools, were what they called "tuition dependent", meaning that they pretty much operate at the razor's edge and are either just squeaking by or are losing money every year.
It's a pretty good read. I'm posting the link of the rankings but there's a link in there as well for their methodology.

There was a guy in my law school class who went to MacMurray College in IL, a small liberal arts school that just closed its doors. Our own Wesley College could go under at any minute. Antioch College, a hippie school in Ohio, will likely close down for a second time. Too many colleges competing for too few students.GannonFan wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 6:39 amAgreed - there are some really crappy, supposedly "not for profit" brick and mortar colleges that should not be in the business of passing out diplomas.CID1990 wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 5:52 am

“Not for profit” is code for “private”
Forbes should rank state supported schools in there too ... because many good schools that are supposedly state supported are actually not.
The Citadel is somewhere around 7-9 % state subsidized now. That is dismal. Put The Citadel on that list and we come in at a C at best.

Agree. I don't see the value in going to college unless its STEM and maybe business and accounting (but maybe those fall under the "M" in STEM). The funny thing about the idea of big public universities tightening their belt means a lot of the SJW and arts and letters types of degrees would get the most scrutiny.CID1990 wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 5:52 amI think they just need to get back to the basics.∞∞∞ wrote:
