I think some of that can/will course correct quickly. Universities, however, I don’t think will. I think that, for lack of a better term, woke ideology is just too ingrained for most of them to recover. I think many students want the coddling/safetyism and I think that the quick and easy access to power that wokeness gives people is very powerful. But I hope I’m wrong. I know there are people put working hard to undo it.

one way for universities to recover: let the worst ones sink. Even the most famous and oldest ones.

I have seen an european Dean say "some pp think that just because we are famous and have been here for 700y, that it means we can do any shit, as much as we want, and still new students will choose us"

less young pp due to demographic changes, poorer pp due to general empoverishment, and dumber pp due to generally worse woke education, all will make life harder for the univs.

many pp are already waking up to the fact that 300K debt for a shit soft course dumber than your grandpa high school is not a good choice.
