Comments on: Questioning law schools’ role https://www.overlawyered.com/2014/08/questioning-law-schools-role/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Sun, 03 Aug 2014 16:19:07 +0000 hourly 1 By: jdgalt https://www.overlawyered.com/2014/08/questioning-law-schools-role/comment-page-1/#comment-299488 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 16:19:07 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=47411#comment-299488 I predict that it won’t be just law schools. The whole 4-year university system is so deeply plagued with leftist and nanny-statist ideology, “affirmative action”, sky-high prices driven by federal aid, and bankruptcy-proof federal student loans, that it’s no longer worthwhile for just about anybody. The job-market value of a degree has tanked, and it would take reforms that the feds will never allow before it can ever recover.

So very soon now, the federal government will be trying energetically to prop up the dying industry of higher education just as it is now trying to save the newspaper industry from obsolescence — with about the same results.

Is it just me, or are they reinventing the Soviet Union, and badly?
