The Ivy League Is Dying—and That’s a Good Thing
2022-09-15
by Roger L. Simon

“Jeopardy” for a dollar fifty. … Why were we not surprised that Brian Stelter and Bill de Blasio (né Warren Wilhelm Jr.) ended up on the Harvard faculty?

Because there’s nothing surprising about it.

I know. That was too easy for a “Jeopardy” question.

Harvard and the rest of the Ivy League have been morphing into Institutions of Higher Indoctrination from Institutions of Higher Education for years now, sometimes at the behest of the Chinese communists and sometimes, incredibly, on their recognizance.

If you weren’t sufficiently brainwashed K through 12, you would be at an Ivy college—and then some. You would be trained to parrot the approved ideology all across the country and the world, through the media and, yet more insidiously, at colleges more lowly on the academic food chain, should you so choose.

So why not ex-CNN bloviator Stelter, who spent the better part of an hour a day for two years shamelessly lying to the American public about nonexistent Trump–Russia collusion, or the former mayor of New York who helped turn America’s greatest city into the crime-ridden garbage heap it is now and is nowhere near repairing?

They are simply the obvious next steps into what can only be described as deliberate anti-intellectual inanity, plus brainwashing by the university (masquerading as the ne plus ultra of thought, of course).

#5  But still no problem with getting plenty of applicants. I understand that Harvard admitted 3.5% (not a typo) of the applicants to the class of 2025 and Yale admitted 4.5% (but Yale just built two additional "colleges" or dorms a few years ago to accommodate about an additional 500 students or so.)

Not to mention that Harvard is worth $51B and Yale $42B. They can survive anything for quite a while.

#4  For the social arts, they are TicketMaster.

Part of the concert are the people with connections.

#3  As long as it's a guaranteed ticket to the trough in DC, enrollment will be sold out annually.

#2  I'd like to see Ivy League enrollment figures for the past couple of years before making such a definitive statement.

#1  They're not dying, they're just corrupt. They aren't going anywhere.
