THE TRIQUETRA OF LIFE: Wisdom, Wealth, and Wellness

Have you ever wondered why private colleges are more conservative than publicly-funded institutions?

Watch this:

Among other reasons, high salaried, biased, liberal faculty with inane socialist notions offend their wiser students and alumni, thereby causing a serious decline and fall in applications, attendance, and alumni donors.

It’s the campus version of Go Woke, Go Broke afflicting stocks like Disney, Target, and Budweiser that’s causing ultra-liberal colleges to close down. 

(Note: a college can teach liberal arts and yet be ultra-conservative. Colleges like John Paul Catholic University in Escondido CA, Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH, and Christendom College in VA are thriving. Reference the Cardinal Newman Guide for a list of such like schools. https://cardinalnewmansociety.org/college/)

Here’s more information on what’s happening to liberal colleges:

Interesting graphics:

Note that creative authors, media journalists, and professors are three to five times more likely to be liberals, about the same as bartenders whose occupation isn’t much different . . . intoxicating customers with fake news.

According to this chart, when I was a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in MA., back in the early 60s, its faculty was surely less than 22 liberals out of 100. Now it’s likely up to 55 liberals out of 100, more than double. Campus emphasis on trends like DEI and gender-bending pronoun adoption are offending and deterring many alumni donors.

 It’s not surprising to learn that the federal government provides huge dollar subsidies to MIT and WPI for their excellent STEM curriculum in robotics, environmentalism, and pioneering rocket science, . . .  attracting massive research funding grants that have biased them to support mind-twisting often irrational, socialist policies while favoring tenured liberal professors.

But It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to announce that scary subtext alarm for a disastrous mission failure, “Houston, we’ve got a problem.”
