The Problem with Humboldt State University

With everyone else piling on I have to call attention to the obvious. The North Coast Journal article this week was, as usual, well done and almost complete. Try as they do….they just can’t bring themselves to state the obvious.

The article outlined the crisis HSU is currently in. Stressing just how close they are to losing what is left of it’s academic reputation and clearly outlining the infighting over dwindling budget resources.

The college president, Rollin Richmond, is quoted as referencing a sort of “tribalism” that has formed. Very good analogy. He further went on to relate that he is amazed at the amount of money being diverted from education to prisons.

The Faculty department, the administration, and the students all wringing their hands and collectively shouting into the pot filled quad….”why….oh Darwin why!”

Well I will tell you and you won’t need to pay me the $65,000 you shelled out recently to consulting firms.

Half your faculty and most of the students are stoned most of the time and your education budget is shrinking in direct proportion to the illegal alien drain on the education system.

Like most institutions who find themselves governed by liberals, all too soon the money has been siphoned off to pet projects, any type of fiscal responsibility quickly disposed of as evil racist practices. What you are left with is a student body well schooled in indoor cultivation of illegal drugs (with a minor in golf Frisbee) and a faculty spending their free time contemplating BTU exchange from cow dung.

If you want to save your institution, I mean really want to save it…..replace the dead wood in your faculty, require your students to actually learn something…..and demand the Governor remove the third world drain from the state.

As far as I am concerned, the place should be put under abatement and closed as a public nuisance.
