If you’ve wondered what’s happening in America’s higher education, take a look at Columbia and one of their PhD students who was participating in the taking over of the building.

“My dissertation is on fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860. My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift, Marx's term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism. I am particularly interested in theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the Romantic imagination.
Prior to joining Columbia, I worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remain active in the higher education labor movement.”

Bob, the advantage of Columbia is you get to pay $80,000 a year to learn remotely. Sure you could spend $2,000 a year on an online College but you would miss discussions on "fantasies of limitless energy in transatlantic Romantic imagination." That is worth $78,000 in my opinion.
