This is so fucking depressing. My brother went to New College. He's neurodivergent, so it was a perfect place for him since it allowed him to structure his education in a way that fit his learning style.
All that is over.
What's left for people like him of college age today? Evergreen? Maybe a Quaker college?
Tbh with the way things are headed it might be best for all Americans that wish to further their education to do it in another country, it'd be safer and more likely to be quality education. Everything here's getting gutted, dismantled, sold, and traded, in the name of bullshit.
That's my hope for my kids right now.
Still working out where to go, and of course the (lengthy) process of getting there, as well as an obvious step further than simply sending my kids off to college elsewhere...
But "Not the US" is the answer to far too many questions right now.
As long as they can do it.
This is assuming that international colleges will even accept American institutional credentials for education going forwards. With how thorough this dismantling might be, we might go back to "oh, we didn't learn about the Civil War up in Nebraska, all we needed to know was how to run the farm" like it was at the turn of the last century.
