Former Yale administrator stole $40 million, pretending to buy computer equipment for the university.

I'm of the opinion that many of our Universities are becoming like our Health care system....where "Money" is becoming the highest priority. Every year, they graduate thousands of students with meaningless degrees....in things like Liberal Arts....which give the students an education which qualifies them for little more than working at a fast food restaurant....and leaving them with decades of Student Loans.

Having been a liberal arts major, I couldn’t agree more. Had to go back to school to acquire an actual marketable skill.

it’s nonsense like this that helps contribute to the incredibly high cost of tuition.

At the University I attended which the majority of the student population was of the deaf and hearing impaired population they had a degree option called Deaf Studies. Many of the students took this degree option and it pretty much landed them nowhere unfortunately. Unless they were going to work in a University such as the one I attended or a school for the deaf that was it. One, there are not that many schools in each State for that and the Universities there are even less.
