Universities had 17 years of warning. They responded by doing the opposite of what the math demanded. In 2008, American birth rates fell off a cliff. The Great Recession made people stop having kids. Those never-born children would be turning 18 right now. The number of U.S. high school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025. By 2029, that number drops 15%. By 2041, it drops by nearly half a million students per year. Every school in this tweet had access to the same Census data. They all saw the same curve. Administrative positions at U.S. colleges grew 60% between 1993 and 2009, ten times the rate of tenured faculty growth. Non-instructional spending (student services, administration) grew 29% from 2010 to 2018. Instructional spending grew 17%. Average tuition at public four-year schools went from $3,500 in 2000 to $10,560 in 2023. Yale now has more administrators than undergraduate students. 5,460 administrators for fewer than 5,000 undergrads. They built the cost structure of a growth company on top of a customer base that was mathematically guaranteed to shrink. The split in this data tells you everything. Clemson, Syracuse, Duke, UNC, and Indiana are all cutting because the model broke. Alabama, Ole Miss, and the University of Florida are turning away more applicants than ever. Harvard gets five applications for every spot. The middle is where the cliff hits. Elite schools absorb demand. Everyone between elite and community college fights over a shrinking pool. The Fed published a study in December 2024 predicting 80 colleges will close in the next five years. Since 2016, over 100 already have. In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week. These program cuts and layoffs are a decade late. The birth rate data was sitting in Census spreadsheets the entire time. Everyone in higher education administration saw the enrollment cliff coming. They hired more administrators anyway.

Anyone know of a good job for someone who hates people?

My wife just asked me how come she has never seen a black catcher, and i honestly had no answer?

Gentlemen, we are seeing an endangered species. Feminism has destroyed this.

FALSO. La libertad de cátedra no les da derecho de manipular a los estudiantes que dependen de ustedes para recibir la enseñansa. La conducta de ustedes ciertamente debe regularse. ¿Cuántos padres sufren pq sus hijos pasan 7 años clasificados como de segundo año por andar pendientes a sus clubes políticos? Ninguna libertad es infinita. Si quieres ejercer tu libertad de expresión y de asociación, lo haces fuera del campus universitario, con adultos, y sin aprovecharte de la vulnerabilidad de esos estudiantes. La UPR es una escuela, y eso se respeta. Para tomar decisiones respecto a la universidad, se vota en las elecciones y el gobernador electo implementa su política pública según refrendada por el Pueblo. No por ustedes, que en última instancia son empleados de la rama ejecutiva.

Expresa tus ideas políticas en tu tiempo libre, con adultos y fuera del campus universitario, so HDLGP. Ustedes son tan miserables que cada año buscan a los estudiantes más tontos y tratan de adoctrinarlos con sus porquerías en una relación profesor-estudiante con desbalance de poder. Son unos asquerosos y eso hay que prohibirlo. Ningún menor de edad tiene por qué caer víctima de su adoctrinamiento. Los padres se esfuerzan demasiado para que ustedes viejos asquerosos les quieran dañar sus vidas. ¿De cuántas estudiantes menores de 21 años trataste de aprovecharte sexualmente? No me hagas hablar, porque yo los conozco a ustedes. Todos hacen lo mismo. Y tú me MMSLB y te CETM. Eres un impresentable. 🖕🤡
