The fall of Academia: half of US companies are reducing requirements for Bachelors degrees

University degrees aren’t what they used to be
After years of universities turning out smug self-obsessed graduates of Woke ideology, Big Business has realized they might be better off hiring people with experience in the real world instead. They are also doing their own testing — with 2 out of 3 setting their own test assignments for candidates.

This year more than half of the 800 employers surveyed had already dropped bachelor degree requirements for at least some of their roles. It must have worked out, because next year almost all of those same companies plan on dropping the requirement for even more roles. That looks like a trend…

Nenshi should step down, fined, be taken to court for dereliction of duty or be removed from current leadership role due to breach of authority while in a position of power, poor memory & proved blatant deceit causing destruction & financial burden unnecessarily …. The records prove it & clarify it! His two in command should not be absolved either for not going to council when Nenshi did not! Calgarians should not be left with the costing when it should have been unnecessary! It’s called Accountability…..
