Philosophy and helping people understand the history of and evolution of epistemology and concepts that take some guidance to arrive at, is a very important and worthwhile part of the traditional college experience.
4 year college experience isn't just about classes. It can be an amazing and awesome time of life that isn't like any other. I wish everyone could have the experiences that so many people get from going to a 4 year out of State (or out of town at least) .
And I acknowledge that it's mostly for very privileged kids, and that not everyone is a reader or can make use of Kant or feels good feeding their mind. But it makes me sad to think about how many things we are letting go the way of the Dodo that kids and young adults used to enjoy. Rites of passage etc.
I agree some of the liberal arts are worthwhile for an education but many really shouldnt be a major degree...like gender studies or race specific history.
Gender studies and dei across all classes should be abolished as part of the rubric and just abolished period.
Agree with everything you said especially while I think the degree specific education can occur in 2 years, the growth and evolving and fun needs 3 years.
