The “studies” degrees and other liberal arts programs hearken to an earlier understanding of the university as being a place of higher learning. In the US, our view of post-secondary education has changed in recent decades and we now look at university degree programs largely as white collar vocational training. The old higher learning paradigms still exist, but now there is a societal expectation that they prove their economic value. Knowledge and wisdom no longer have inherent value, only that which can be exploited by capital. Higher learning in its traditional modality is a luxury.

It would help to change the nomenclature. Joining a Facebook “group” makes sense to anybody. Change insider jargon like “instance” to seeker-friendly verbiage like “village.”
With all those fluids, do you get up to pee like 19 times throughout the night? I would.
I agree. However, I would enjoy watching the leader of the free world metaphorically spit in the eye of the reality TV star.
He should now offer rare earth minerals to the EU.
I call universities white collar vocational schools because that’s what they’ve become.
