A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Northwestern basically only accepts crazy people with high IQ’s too insane for the ivies, along with a fair number of athletes, legacies and affirmation action POC’s.

Sad to say, but NU fell out of the ranks of respectable institutions twenty years ago. Remember they pulled an offer of an endowed chair to a retired Navy admiral, hired scores of woke phony academics, set up safe places for snowflake students, and launched an oversight committee to look for microaggressions on campus.

I expect Northwestern Athletics to be eliminated within a year or two. Just like former Big Ten member University of Chicago, athletic competition – where you keep score and have winners and losers – is anathema to the brainwashed, woke, socialist scum currently running and attending Northwestern. Unless the NCAA eliminates winners and losers and simply gives participation trophies to all participants, Northwestern’s socialist masses will run away. In their utopia, everyone must be equally a loser.
Like many NU alumni, NU has become an embarrassment for us.
