Woman Studies which is gender discrimination where instead of learning the greatness of women, they study how to hate men!

Poetry is a total waste of time and money!

Philosophy is a total waste of time and money!

Chicano Studies is a total waste of time and money and RACIST! THAT INCLUDES ALL THEY GROUPS LIKE LA RAZA, MEXSLA, ETC…!!!

African-American Studies, and their affiliated departments, ARE RACIST!

Sociology is a total waste of time and money!

Fees also going to ASUNM groups that are based on gender, sexual orientation, race, which are Chicano and Black oriented groups, ARE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

An example on where you can get the same education/indoctrination for free: If you want to learn about being a Communist Peace Activist, you can get brainwashed for free at the Peace and Justice Center conveniently one block away.

Poetry classes? How many millions is spent per year on teaching and learning the art of putting fancy words in random order that don’t even make sense and even if they did make sense, you’d probably say, “So.”

If you stupid students would spend half the time studying instead of trying to see how many fake friends you can get on Facebook, you would get better grades and better jobs.

Employer: “What did you get a degree in?”

Job seeker: “Peace Studies. I also minored in Poetry.”

Employer: “Oh so you learned how to make protest signs with great slogans?”

Job seeker: “Well, yea.”

Employer: “I’m sorry but you’re not qualified.”

Job seeker: “To flip burgers?”

Can’t these students get “wasteful” degrees online instead of UNM having to hire professors, which includes their over-stocked offices which they are rarely at, their benefits, and their way over priced salaries, to instead hand out monies to degrees and departments that could better serve the student and their future needs?

I must also add music and art to your list. You either have it or you don’t and from the bands that I have heard, they don’t have it and most will never continue music when they gradutate but they spent $50,000 to then become a waiter at Scalo’s.

That includes the student art that I see on occasion. My usual comment is, “You have to be kidding me!!!”

Do their parents know what the hell their kids are doing and wasting their time on? I could be that many of these kids have never worked and if they don’t go to school, they would have to give up their skateboarding and internet surfing to actually get a job so they just continue to suck up the loan money, or lottery funds, to have fun.

But Steve, let them do what they wish because we do need people who can “flip burgers!”

You can get a Masters in this “thinking outside the box” crapola?

Well, that doesn’t sound like a real science now does it? I remember taking a sociology class back in my freshman days. You would have to have been retarded not to pass. I barely studied at all and got a B . I devoted as little time as possible to that class. I resent Arts and Sciences for making us waste half of our goddamn undergrad on worthless courses like sociology, music appreciation, communications and journalism (what a joke!), etc. Nobody really cares about these subjects. I could have taken more CS courses, chemistry, physics, differential equations, etc. Things that the world actually cares about.

Now we certainly can’t say that a republican state government wouldn’t raise tuition, but what we do know is the Democrats have screwed, blued and tattooed the state finances and couldn’t economically manage their way out of a paper bag.

When students major in “wasteful” classes, they won’t know it was a waste of time till they graduate and can’t get a job which is similar to my above examples. They move on to something other than their specialty degree and go into something else and then realizing that degree hanging on their wall was a waste of time and money which this article is about.

Then there is the “something I can fall back on” way of thinking meaning they got a job, any job, for necessity and can “fall back” to their degree if they need to or get the chance to.

The only way to learn about the societies of the world, is to visit other countries. Learning about a country, its people, cultures, and their beliefs from the Tourist Guide to West Africa or your Sociology class, is a waste of time sine the professor hasn’t even been to that country and even if they were there, they most likely have a biased opinion on everything including gender relationships, political differences, and cultural observations.

I must agree that the university can do without many courses especially now that most universities are thinking of ways to cut costs. Unfortunately, they look at the arts first including in public schools. They end up cutting the music and art classes first but at universities, poetry and music appreciation, philosophy, ethic classes, dance, drama, and film which can be learned at other private and city venues.

Oh, but please, don’t cut anything in sports, the Athletic Department, or coaches salaries. This department puts UNM “on the map.”
