AMERICANS LOSING CONFIDENCE IN COLLEGE EDUCATION

The Great America Show with Lou Dobbs

Professor Nicholas Giordano joins us on today's episode to discuss Americans growing distrust in U.S. Universities. A new Gallup poll finds that only 36% of Americans have confidence in higher education -- down 21 points from 2015. Giordano says something is fundamentally broken within the system. When it comes to colleges, there are a number of reasons that we're witnessing this. First is that students are paying an enormous amount of tuition. They're graduating with this huge student debt burden, and then they go to get a job, but they can't find a job because many of them get a useless degree. Only 37% of college graduates understand critical thinking, have the ability to solve problems. Many have difficulty interacting with coworkers. We are also seeing the left-wing indoctrination taking place on college campuses, the diversity, equity, inclusion initiatives and degree requirements that have been pushed into the system. This is all being forced upon students and now has some withdrawing from the system because they don't want the far-left ideology being pushed on them.
