The good name of 'university' seems to have been hijacked nowadays by greedy institutions charging for their 'education' theme parks.

The same should be pointed out for our State schools which have also become a source of profit.

the scientist who figures out faster than light travel will also be a weird little gremlin person who loves figuring out stuff like why there's a .0000001% variance between seven different ways of measuring the same physical constant

Love this description.

Does this mean we can do away with university sports teams?

When the clues scream @miguelalcubierre.bsky.social, but the credits roll in silence… 🕵️‍♀️

I know a man who is a university lecturer doing Proper Science with zooplankton, and is also New Zealand's leading garden gnome historian. This seems fine to me.

That scientist is going to come from outside university

Although if someone at the university where I work has figured out how to be in more than one place at the same time, I'm somewhat annoyed that they seem to be keeping it to themselves and not sharing this valuable skill with the rest of us.

Visigoths and Ostrogoths And plain old Goths and Vandals! A kid'll mug a Roman, too For his sandals! (Oh, no, wait, a haiku and not a Swing vocal? Umm.)

As always, pterry:

I’ve decided that universities offering degrees in business is when it all started going to hell. It was a straight line from there to the student being a customer who is always right.

Sorry but the culmination of modern society is "if you don't enrich shareholders you should literally kill yourself" I don't know why nor do I think it's a good thing but that's where we're at.

Proud to be a weird little gremlin person who loves obscure and defunct early C20 magazines with names like 'Pig keeping for beginners' or 'Crochet and Croquet'

I'm a weird lil gremlin and truly, we do need university life. We need to at least be academia adjacent

This shift has been happening for decades...sadly.

I am now inspired to write haiku about Visigoths. I recognize there is a limited market for that.
