Actually, as a junior college course, Small Engine Repairs might be a worthwhile course. Throw in a financial literacy course and introduction to accounting and it would have value.

Much more concerned about the INSIDE of Stuff Yer Face...specifically the bathrooms. I have been around the block and those are the grossest in the western world.
Just typing about it makes me gag to this day. Thanks. 🙄
Good reply. I trust that you realize my post was a flippant reply to his questions.
I seen your post as an excellent lead in to what I wanted to say.
The opening you gave fit perfectly and I felt you were trying to have the reason looked into rather than being dismissed as a waste..
Maybe then they would know fewer credits, not less credits, is grammatically correct
The irony of seeing the same people who gets all piffy when Ohio State, USC, Alabama, etc is talked about being superior to Rutgers have the same exact attitude from their high horse when comparing Rutgers to NJCU, especially to those who are ESL students. Like those students are not allowed to improve their lives.
Hypocrites.
Surprised by this. I think they are not so bad. 🤷♂️
You obviously were never in the men's room of CBGBs. My shoes barely stayed on my feet because the floor was so sticky. But that did not stop a young Maynard James Keenan (singer in Tool) from doing pushups in front of the urinal as he warmed up for the show in 1992.
I have been as it was right down the street from E33/L9 whose quarters we shared while our firehouse got a new floor.Surprised by this. I think they are not so bad. 🤷♂️

And the Port Authority Bus Terminal too.
Maybe they redid the ones at Stuff Yer Face but the memory is seared in my mind.
Sorry but after graduating I never really thought about RU bathrooms again...largely because traveling since I've encountered far worse. A hole in the ground in Egypt in a bar is my worst memory.
Upstairs or downstairs, or both? Or is there only an upstairs? That is the only one I have been in, and my memory of it was "cozy."
NJCU.. lol.
What are the requirements for admission?
A: Do you have a pulse?

Any democratic society should encourage citizens to obtain the maximum education they can achieve, subject to reasonable cost (both upfront along with opportunity cost). A citizen population of informed, rational and educated people should produce optimal societal outcomes. At least, that was the firm belief of many of the founders, Jefferson specifically.
So I applaud the mission of this university and hope it’s graduates obtain an education along with some skill to earn a decent living (I’ve never found the argument that college‘s main function is to serve as a trade school, churning out culturally illiterate computer science or business degree graduates, as particularly compelling unless someone is looking to create a shallow, greedy but uneducated society. I mean, how many of the founders had a trade skill as their primary life skill?)
in my view, we should seek to provide affordable access to as many qualified high school graduates or GED recipients as possible. Not IVy league, or even Rutgers, but i like the idea of supporting people looking to improve their station in life. Seems others in this thread don’t. That’s a shame,

Your ignorance is stunning.
American colleges are toxic sludge dumps of dysfunction.
The whole world laughs at the mental illness raging through US colleges
Cant define boys and girls anymore, profs calling for genocide, radical poison oozing from every pore (spesh in gender studies - close them all down). Community colleges are the worst. Big shakeout coming no doubt

VICTOR DAVID HANSON: American universities have lost their prestige
Today’s universities and colleges bear little if any resemblance to postwar higher education.

In NJ the State Colleges are wholly State entities. They are governed by boards appointed by the Governor, all their real property is ultimately owned by the State, all the workers are State employees.
They can shut down operations of course. You are right, bankrupt not really the right use of the word.
They are not exactly like executive agencies of the State but close enough that I think the idea of a State College defaulting would be like saying folks that bought Turnpike Authority bonds might lose their investment if no one wanted to drive from NYC to Philly anymore. They are backed by the full faith and credit of the State.

*Many* schools, including Rutgers, have programs in English as a Second Language. These programs not only help students for whom English is not the language spoken at home, but also students and faculty from abroad. I'm sure many Rutgers grads have had TAs whose English is shaky, and these programs are designed to help them. In addition, students from abroad are cash cows (and therefore subsidize tuition for American students) because they don't get financial aid and so schools want to attract them and want them to succeed.
Well Franklin was a tradesman, printer.
Anumber we’re lawyers: Adams ( both Sam and John),Hamilton. Stockton, Clark (I spent one year in Abraham Clark High)
Hancock was a merchant, Washington and Jefferson large land owners

I think they re-modeled a bit over the past couple of years. I stress a bit. But those bathrooms weren't great a while back. Not at the level of the Corner Tavern pee trough, but not great.
Yeah...the whole world is "laughing" at US education
Meanwhile RU is one of many colleges where 10%+ of the student body is international, paying out of state tuition ensuring athletics and the rest of the school is funded and that NJ kids get a subsidized education
Other than Oxford and McGill and Univ of Toronto I have never heard of an American going abroad for college. Though with more Americans getting EU passports and Erasmus access that can change.

I saw some stats on this awhile back... how administration positions have grown compared to faculty numbers since, say, the 60s.. it is almost a geometric climb. The military may have similar numbers now.. there is one officer for every 4.7 enlisted.
The Forbes story from 2017 covers similar topics in academia pretty well..
IMO, these institutions added a lot of relatively-useless majors and departments and create a lot of BAs and MAs and PhDs with degrees and they have made jobs for them... thus, proving the value of those degrees.
Facility and admins are way overpaid. Need to cut back on those union positions and of course, eliminate tenure (which protects the mediocre and unmotivated).
Your post is a toxic sludge dump of dysfunction. But we still love you anyway, abc, regardless of how you might choose to define your gender. 😉
Weird how the self-appointed experts on who is overpaid, and whose job is too easy, never point at themselves.
That can work in many different ways. It can also protect a faculty member who refuses to sign a pledge to adhere to the teachings of Saul Alinsky and Howard Zinn.
Sometimes the increase in administration has been the result of well-intentioned (and valuable) legislation. The Americans With Disabilities Act meant that every institution had to create an office to deal with disabiity accommodation requests. Civil rights laws meant more record-keeping. Sometimes the added bureaucracy is to help students; many schools have expanded their career placement offices and student counseling services. But, yeah, some of it is just plain bloat.
Administration Bloat is the main reason why money is wasted in board of Ed’s and unfortunately the teachers in the classrooms are the ones who are stereotyped as the reason why the world has no money. Damm shame since most admin are full of 💩 politicians who see their positions as their golden parachute when that money should be spent on the buildings, equipment and the actual staff who are actually working to be used by the children to improve their lives.
1) People arrive in America highly skilled (as writers, biologists, mathematicians, historians) but still struggling with mastering English, a very confusing language.
2) Many kids graduate hs with high marks in many subjects but also struggling with writing. Try explaining to that kid why a logical verb progression would be, “He may have been considering asking her on a date.” Or why you live in Jersey City on Communipaw Ave at 347B.
3) How many of the foreign-born students at RU do you think require some evel of ESL support?
I am a teacher, an English prof, by no means a radical one, still stunned by your ignorance. Politics?
