If you choose to censor my post of the other day, at least you should have the decency to provide me with an explanation why! I am very disappointed. As disappointed as i was in Pete’s prior post.

Totally agree -think most colleges , including Bowdoin , have become left winged brainwashing institutions overwhelmed by over paid and underperforming teachers-with some exceptions–free speech not accepted -way to expensive for very little results -so sad with little hope of change –

The “facts” cited in Pete’s post are interesting: 90% of all colleges and universities…..; college tuition is up 400% from 1990 to 2016……; and faculties are 90+ left of center progressives. Makes me wonder if Pete currently works in the Trump administration or Fox News? By the way, what happened to thought #3 ?

The problem with Bowdoin is the same as it is for 90% of all colleges and Universities.
1. They have no cost containment programs and no stake holders who hold them accountable. The facts are irrefutable.. College tuition is up 400% from 1990 to 2016 while medical care is up 200% and consumer prices are up by 100%
2. While most administrations have value for a diverse student body, they have no value for any program designed to recruit a diverse faculty and staff. Thus since faculties are 90+ left of center progressives ….its group think and indoctrination.
