Eric -- how weird is it that your co-host Hannibal Burress started the process that's taking down the Bill Cosby empire?

As a former professor myself, I believe the academy is woefully broken. Dysfunctional systems like tenure review, cronyism, nepotism in hiring, rampant ignorance toward student loan problems, and outright lying from administrators killed my passion for academia... so I left.

What do you seen as the biggest problems facing academia, especially the humanities, right now?

Thanks for the answer!

I totally agree that some universities haven't realized they're effectively running business. In the States, this has sadly meant that many do realize they're running businesses and quality suffers. Every mid-tier state school is desperate to increase enrollment at any cost.

Even though I love academia and believe in the importance of a balanced education, I've started advising lots of people who would need loans to go to community college or trade school instead.

Hey Eric, did MENSA ever let you join?

I just wanna say thanks. Titan Quest was one of my favorite games. In fact, I still play it from time to time to this day.
