25% of colleges/universities could go away and would not be missed. *

Are there a lot of relatively new (i.e. post-war) liberal arts colleges?

Fewer schools = fewer "professors" = less liberal brain washing. *

And less employment of people that should not be employed. What are we going to do with them?
