ANOTHER GOVERNOR CRITICIZES THE LIBERAL ARTS. Well, fifty years of damaging your brand will eventually get you some criticism. “The criticism by McCrory and others grows out of media reports of un- and underemployed college graduates (often anecdotal, but also based on some data), as well as a general strain of modern conservative political thought that asks whether states’ public sectors – including public colleges and universities – are inefficient, too large and costly, and are therefore getting in the way of private sector job growth.” No surprise here.
