Liberal arts defunded for VIDEOGAMES

Are you an idiot? You don't blame the school for offering it. You blame the stupid retarded liberal fucks who select it as a major. The school doesn't force you into a major. It's simple supply and demand. Are you one of those dumb fucks who blames the fast food industry for the growing obesity levels in society? They are supplying a service and people eat it up.

>I thought people who went to college were supposed to be smart.
Retard logic.

Liberal arts aren't just fucking gender studies and psychology.

Right, it's also for English and Film making!

GAMERS RISE UP

Are you saying people shouldn't learn English

GAMERS TAKING OVER

WE ARE SOCIETY NOW

they're supplying a service that they know is harmful to health. with power comes responsibility. if you're smart enough to start a successful business you're smart enough to know that you're smarter than most people.

English is not a useless degree, nor is History. Just because you are not making 100k every year doesn't mean it was a waste of time.

> actually happening
wow like literally?

>defunding history depts

>doesn't know what liberal arts means

Jesus fuck I weep for people who were raised on the modern internet.

Disgusting.
People on this board will defend this because they haven't read a book since highschool.

Why does it matter these days, even with the departments open all discussions always go back to white people bad

Books are for FAGGOTS who's with me?

Videogames saving the day once again.

Lol, what?

>The Ohio conference of the American Association of University Professors sent a letter to the University of Akron on Friday, harshly criticizing its plan to cut 20 percent of its academic programs while investing in competitive online video gaming, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. “It is as though you are saying: Well, we are bored with education so let’s play games instead,” John T. McNay, professor of history at the University of Cincinnati and president of the state AAUP conference, wrote in his letter to Akron’s administration and governing board. “This shows a serious lack of judgment and indicates that you are violating the trust that has been placed in your hands for protecting and enhancing” the university.
I'm curious what critics think of the massive funding schools put towards traditional athletics.

Math, natural science, and economics all fall under the liberal arts umbrella (which a lot of people actually don't realize, especially math).

video games aren't art, they're better

>video game degrees are useless!
>a college is removing degrees to replace them with video games? BASED!

Which is it /v/?

Well, when every retard in the world starts saying History is useless and isn't worth taking, the schools are going to have to get rid of them. I remember taking a history class that had only 7 people in it. This was a big university mind you.

video games are a bigger industry than all other entertainment combined and since the economy is basically entertainment and services at his point you could say video games are the most important industry in the economy.

It was sociology and history. Their job was probably to corrupt history more than anything, to see how you can look at history through modern sociology's lenses.

SOCIETY BTFO

i'm sure no discussion of actual history took place.

Books are unironically a shit way of packing and distributing ideas.

Memes > books.

>probably

So you have zero evidence for anything you're saying but want to spout bullshit because it "feels" right to you.

heavily underrated

t. booklet

why do they have to be mutually exclusive? are you implying that we're all immediately going to go sign up for this university?

what this means is they are going to figure out how to make games political.
get ready for more power point presentations about how white people in video games are problematic.

That's the fucking norm you ignorant fool.

>Zero evidence
Opinion discarded, don’t bother replying to me again.

based video games actually rose up lmao

You can present information in a far better way than fucking books.

Pages and pages and pages of running around and being up your own ass wasting time.

Just get to the point.

>ignorant
The fucking irony of a guy defending baseless bullshit. Base your beliefs on hard evidence you gigantic fucking faggot. Don't just spout generalizations because it reinforces your own worldview and makes you feel good inside.

Oh I'm sorry, are you an alumni at Akron? I'm guessing no.

Nice gaslighting.

Please be baiting, the idea of a world where people like you exist is horrifying.

That's a pity but them's the breaks

I dunno. I always thought college was for learning a marketable skill but that seems to be a thing of the past for the most part. There's really only a handful of degrees even worth the money anymore.

lol more irony, please keep projecting. Sorry that I'm pushing against your generalizations friend.

>murrican unis getting rid of useless cashcow degrees for an even bigger useless cashcow degree just to jump on the cultural trends and entice kids
>murricans thinking they can get a good job from a video games degree
wow really sticking it to the man there guys wp

Being glued to the idea of bound paper full of words is the zomg greatest thing ever for delivering stories and information is worse than the worst boomerism.

It's literally what you are doing if you want to pretend like all things in college aren't fucked up as a norm.
You probably do have an agenda and the irony is that now you are accusing others of projecting while projecting that yourself and you just exposed it.

A university is normally for gaining a higher knowledge on a specific art
If you want a marketable skill then go to a trade school please

Gas all STEMtards

At least videogames generate money. Worst case scenario you can find job somewhere in the world with it, or at least go indie.
Better than a starbucks degree.

>A university is normally for gaining a higher knowledge on a specific art
Now it is and that's why there are so many people with huge debt and a useless degree.

ok thanks user ill go to trade school for video games, instead of going to uni for video games

t. 1840 time traveler.

"I want to go to school for the sake of being educated, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Then five years later they bitch online about all the college fees because they never thought about the future.

If it isn’t STEM or trade, it’s worthless

Those courses can't justify high tuition prices as well as a course that requires the latest high-end hardware and a full suite of yearly software packages.

It's not for video game degrees. They're cutting the libarts budget so that they can build an ESPORTS ARENA. Which is even worse, really, it's a modern extension of our cancerous MUH SPORTS culture where schools will cut teacher salaries and refuse to buy new books because the football team needs new shit.

How bad are college fees in america?

its simple supply and demand
the market decided that video games are more important

The M in STEM is a liberal art. As are many sciences.

>esports facilites
the cure is worse that the disease

If you get a degree in something and the market for it crashes, you will be in debt for the rest of your life.

Bad enough one candidate had a legit chance of becoming president just through sheer force of indebted students rallying behind him.

STE/V/ now

25-100k a year depending on school.

it's not for making games it's for playing them competitively

oh yeah i never even noticed the esports bit at the bottom. that makes it even worse. murricans gonna be funding people to play video games lmao

Or don't go to a uni at all and teach yourself coding and how to make vidya for free and get a few game design books?

Reminder that if you are not a doctor, lawyer, businessman, mechanical engineer, or farmer then you are a living meme.

This.
I went to a college with a very rich video game development school, and I know some dipshits who got degrees from it. They're all working unrelated wage jobs or going back to college to get a different degree. Removing scam/useless courses to replace with other scam/useless courses is not something to cheer on.

100% this and even some of those are risky when some pajeet in India will do it for pennies on the dollar.

farmers are a meme tho. What kind of girl would give up the pussy to a farmer lol

they aren't opening game development courses
does /v/ have the reading comprehension level of a 6 yo?

College debts cannot be erased by bankruptcy

How can they get away with it? Does the average american not know how outrageous that is when compared to most eu unis?

Based and red pill

Cringe and bluepilled

Again, where's your hard evidence regarding Akron's history department? You don't have any. No, generalizations are not arguments, they're bullshit meant to reinforce your own beliefs. I don't care how many times you have been convinced by cherrypicked memes that thousands upon thousands of people all behave identically. That's not evidence. That's you being easily manipulated. You actually have to be specific and get into the nitty gritty. But that's too much work for you.

>You probably do have an agenda

Your self-awareness is so low it's laughable. The whole goddamn reason you're even making these baseless claims is because you have an agenda. Please think about your own thought processes and how you consume information before you even think about other people.

Time to stop giving lost causes (You)s.

EU unis are not better in any way.

Exactly. Farmers are fags.
Ranchers are the true chads, just like Abel and his virgin farmer brother Cain

Farmers make crazy money.

if you want girls become a
billionaire
surgeon
vampire
werewolf
or
pirate

Again nice gaslighting.

those are not farmers those are businessmen. "I run an agricultural business" not "I'm a farmer"

The average American thinks Facebook ads hacked an election or that memes won a presidency.
The average American is a fucking retard who thinks that college is necessary and you can't get money if you do anything else

>these people that provide you the necesseties to actually live are a meme
Imagine being this bluepilled. All you computercucks will be worthless when the grids go down and you're helpless as the farmerchads continue living comfortably.

Why do American schools put so much focus on sports?

>Sociology
>History
>Art History
>Labor "Economics" (aka communism)

Mate Spain is pretty bad when compared to the rest of the eu when it comes to university fees, and my 4 years here are less expensive, combined, than one year there according to previous answers

We're just splitting hairs now.

I go to a top 100 university in the world and it doesn't cost me a penny
