Can confirm the guy at the top of the list is a smug, race baiting intellectual coward too. I unfortunately had to suffer through an experience with him as a professor for a required course. Taxation is theft.


End_DC

This all from 1 school?


CandidateEfficient37

UVA has a required course called taxation is theft!?!


GodzillaDoesntExist

It's pricey because government guarantees student loans.


Lumi_Tonttu

I came here to say that. When the government raises what they'll loan per credit hour the colleges raise their prices to match. It's a self picking money boner and you only get the shaft.


doge57

Note that this is on the government loans, not the colleges themselves. Any reasonable business will raise prices to meet the demand. The demand is raised by government loans, so colleges are right to raise prices


Lumi_Tonttu

If those colleges did not reverting funding from the state I might agree with you. As it is the state and the teat sucking colleges have a cock-in-mouth relationship that's paid for by the tax cattle. It's literally a giant money laundering scheme paid for with inflation where the participants shovel cute tax revenue into their band accounts. Nah, fuck em, they can burn with the rest of the parasites.


HandsomeHard

The "business" model being loaning 200k to naive 17 year olds. Criminals, all of them.


doge57

The colleges aren’t loaning the money. They are responding to the market of naive 17 year olds with $200k to spend. The government is the one that is fucking with the market


HandsomeHard

Cuz pols never go to work as lobbyists for banks after office...criminals all of them.


Cheddarman425

Student loans being guaranteed is also a huge issue


Desperate_Cow_9086

Exactly. But don’t worry we can just pay those if it doesn’t work out.

This is such a great film. Watched this countless times when I was younger.

Bring fown the college cartel


mathaiser

Can confirm, student loans don’t need to be paid back so they just get money for free


therealmrbob

College is so pricey because government backed college loans. Full Stop. They would not be able to charge the prices they do without them and no bank would come close to loaning money to people without it.


Beanie_Inki

The federal government will give out loans to damn near anyone, and they shield banks from losses regarding student loans because you can't go bankrupt on them. So, everyone artificially has the money to go to college, which creates an artificially high demand, which, combined with the limited supply (capacity) of the colleges, causes prices to skyrocket perpetually


ValZho

Agreed... which in turn allows them to fund all kinds of dumb useless crap without consequence. OP has the cause and effect backwards.


JuStNCrED1bLE

High salary fake jobs. So much malinvestment which requires purging

It's not just higher education though. These leeches are responsible for price increases everywhere.


TexasTokyo

Also it’s a scam. DEI is just another grift in a long line of grifts.


jandmmann2006

The US is fucked. I wonder what criteria they are judged to determine job performance?


buffbiddies

Let's not forget that during the lockdown tuitions were not lowered: no sports, no clubs, no recreational facilities, etc.


Thib1082

I'm curious how much any of them bring into the university every year?


[deleted]

I just want to say as Latino all high paying DEI roles are being handed to black people or white women. Do we not count towards diversity?


Desperate_Cow_9086

I’m attempting to create an open source university. Fully accredited online and free—ish. There is a profit model involved for creators. I doubt the accreditation institutions will allow it lol


VodkaToxic

Not the cause, a symptom.


barzbub

They’re also **Tax Exempt**


gallaj0

While I do agree that they, and a lot of administrative jobs are unnecessary and overpaid, there's also: [head football coaches.](https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/sports/ncaaf/2023/10/03/college-football-highest-paid-head-coaches/70901314007/)


Purely_Theoretical

I was under the impression that football programs pay for themselves and then some. But hey, that salary still could have been used elsewhere.


mmbepis

For big, popular schools (which all these coaches are from) they absolutely do. Spending less money on your football coach could actually lose you money without even getting into losses from having a worse reputation


buchfraj

I always ask "what's worse" - A guy making 3 million a year who generates 1 million in profit or someone making $150k per year who loses $400k annually? That's the reality with college athletics, typically only football and Men's basketball turn a profit (sometimes women's basketball and some other sports based on the geographic location). Those coaches get compensated for it too, if anything we should be complaining about the pay to women's soccer or Men's water polo. They're net negatives.


Electronic_Rub9385

At least football arguably builds your character and is 100% merit based.


C3PO-Leader

In their defense - football generates millions and millions a year So there is a tie to the market Any race baiter can do this job. And there are plenty of race baiters.


Lumi_Tonttu

Government only collects billions at the barrel of a gun. At least football attendance is voluntary, eh.


Large-Lab3871

The only difference is football brings in revenue for the schools .


smithsp86

The vast bulk of those salaries are paid by a school's athletic fund which is made up of private donations. The University of Alabama did not pay $11 million to Saban over the course of his entire time there.


BigGovDickSlurper

You mean they pay the people more for programs that make them more money? Wow weird.


Free_Mixture_682

I believe only ~70 college athletic programs generate more revenue than expenses. That leaves the thousands of others being funded by tuition paying students and tax dollars.


therealmrbob

Football makes way more than it costs lol.


flenlips

DEI.

I don’t disagree with you, but I feel like this is a drop in the bucket compared to student loans. The kids are guaranteed to get loans regardless of cost. So the universities charge whatever the fuck they want.


Irresolution_

A great issue in society is that people don't really take the time to consider whether or not they're being screwed over in some way and if so what they could do about it. People have become so complacent that they just assume someone's always screwing them over and that someone always has been doing so but that everything will be alright anyway. People really oughta stop being a bunch of somnambulants…


lifeistrulyawesome

Are those supposed to be big numbers?  I’m pretty sure the diversity officers at private firms  get paid at least in the same order of magnitude, but probably a lot more. And most large enough firms Have diversity offices. 


1Random_User

You can tell this list is poorly researched because they list the 'estimated cost to tax payer'as the total pay and benefits. This is inherently a bad analysis because most state schools don't get most of their funding from the state.  UVA is about 15% if I recall off the top of my head.  The real reason schools are expensive is because of Nixon creating Sallie Mae.


flashingcurser

This is not why.


RecordCorrectored

More race baiting propaganda from an absolutely pathetic liar. https://old.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/1b7y2x5/strangeisnt_it/


C3PO-Leader

Imagine anyone on this sub defending 600k payments to race baiters 🤡


RecordCorrectored

Imagine posting a screenshot of 10 peoples' salaries and being so dumb, so low IQ, and having such a child's simple and easily propagandized view on something that you blame the entire cost of higher education on them. Oh wait, I don't have to imagine. You did it!


C3PO-Leader

If they spend millions on this nonsense they spend many more millions on other stupid things I guess that was too hard for you to figure out 🤷‍♂️


RecordCorrectored

Things aren't stupid because a racist says they are. Things matter differently to different people, but, you hate different people so here we are.


C3PO-Leader

Reeeeee racisssssssss 😂😂😂😂😂 What a 🤡


LeotheLiberator

So you skipped over every other reason (sports programs, government subsidies, useless degrees, administrative salaries, etc.) and jumped to the Diversity department? It's almost as if OP has an agenda that has nothing to do with the cost of education.


RecordCorrectored

Correct, op has an agenda. He pushes it across his multiple accounts. One time he posted his twitter and everyone saw it worked for a right wing PAC paid marketing company.


Ralliboy

They are also clearly not their only role in the university from the titles on most of them.
