zarathustrad@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe poors can still get in if they are willing to become indebted wage slaves with a 6 figure debit for the next 20-30 years. Seems fair enough.
Just, don’t expect to get in to a social connection generator for nepo babies, you get a state school with institutionalized alcoholism.

Right. Because the degree is a social gatekeeper first and foremost.
