"Since 2020, almost fifty liberal arts college in the US have closed, and this is a trend that will probably continue until only a prestigious few are left. This will also impact graduate programs at state universities, for which the liberal arts colleges are often feeders, and not a few private universities. The ecosystem of American higher education is in complete collapse. It will never recover."

And you can take almost any liberal arts classes online for free. What you are paying for is not an education but for an official stamp of approval aka a "degree". I think employers should be more concerned with what skills potential employees have rather than what pieces of paper they have acquired for a hefty sum.
