So funny we are doing this to ourselves, our university system was the envy of the world even with all its issues. Not anymore lol.

I've heard a lot of USAians claim this, I've never heard anyone else claim it of the USA. Like literally 0 times anywhere.

I think a large fraction of countries consider their own university system the envy of the world.

No one outside the US claims it because those that would were (not anymore) here and in the university system.

It's especially funny because the administrations/boards of these universities were totally willing to be collaborators with the administration, as long as they could save face and have the semblance of academic freedom
