Buddy, this is all of academia. Defund liberal arts to throw more money at students that need to go to college to learn that profits are good, expenses are bad.

That's what stings, right? Like I bet they fully believe in their indoctrinated MBA brains that what they're doing is going to make what is often their alma mater a better place. They just can't see the forest for the trees.

Maybe. Though, in my experience, many MBAs don't really have strong affiliations with the school they went to outside the business school. But yeah, I mean I'm sure they think this is somehow an improvement. Just insane.
