The Evergreen college of the Bret Weinstein fame is collapsing. The SJW students wanted white people to leave the campus for a day, professor Bret Weinstein refused. After paying Weinstein and his wife half a million dollars to get rid of them, the school has seen a massive reduction in enrollment.

"This year, the college is making some academic changes the administration hopes can help recruit students and -- crucially -- retain them."

"The college plans its course offerings with a 22-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, so as student numbers have fallen, so too have faculty numbers, said David McAvity, Evergreen’s dean for academic budgets. In just two years, the college has cut the equivalent of 34 full-time faculty positions, a 20 percent decrease."

"We’re living and working in a world where the liberal arts have declined in favor among those attending higher education,” president Bridges said."

"When the 19-year-old freshman Wasmine Ghosheh from Sonoma County, California, arrived at The Evergreen State College in September, she met students who were supposed to have roommates but ended up with their own rooms. “There’s a lot of space — it’s spacious, let’s say,” Ghosheh said the Friday before Thanksgiving break in a nearly empty cafeteria on campus."

"The college’s net annual revenue has been in the red for five years, according to a June financial overview to trustees. In 2018-19, Evergreen looked to cut 10 percent from its operating budget. For this year, it cut another 5 percent. Non-resident retention fell to historic lows."

"Officials said that many ideas for the changes came from the faculty, who recognized an imperative to listen to student concerns and understood that fewer students meant continued budget cuts. The college has cut 34 positions in the last two years, The Olympian reported."
