So it seems that your complaint is that certain things are not funded enough at a university. Why is your conclusion then to defund universities entirely? It seems like a non sequitur.
It's a bandwagon culture that believes they have a responsibility to be activists and force that upon students. There is no fixing that by just replacing leadership. The whole boat must go.
In other words, the "burn it to the ground and start over" approach.
Refactor. Don't rebuild. The bigger the system, the more true that is.
Code is logical, people are not. Cultures can only be removed, you will never convince a 40 year old woman working in education their whole life that their entire philosophy is wrong. They will continue to push their beliefs under the table. That's the poison that is naturally bred in public institutions. It's all politically motivated.
Not that I vote for them but you can see how little of a dent Trump made because the institutions around them were actively undoing their work. Perhaps for good reason, however they were voted in by half the population. What we see for support in education is largely confirmation bias. If you put it to a public vote higher education would be defunded.
