"A side consideration is the "pet" thinking that seems permanently attached to such institutions. Reflecting on your example, I'm not sure that I want my own 17 - 21-year-old children hanging around with folks who buy into the beliefs that "black studies", "women studies", etc. (My God, how absurdly narcissistic can one become?) are worthy disciplines."
No sh*t! Our tax dollars at work. The trend toward the lack of basics in the university system in this country is amazing. And heaven forbid that your kid isn't grounded in reality and life, because the chances that they'll need help or thearpy or something after the time they spend as an undergrad is getting worse and worse at some schools. Some seem to lose their way instead of progressing.
