It’s a shame that they destroyed universities. They’ve basically become a place where idiots go to hang out with some smart people and pay $100k to get a certificate that tells them they’re smart.
Universities need to go back to being merit based institutions having a focus on STEM fields.
I don't know that they ever focused exclusively on STEM. Sure, they debated better books back in the day, but there's always been a great deal of trivial discourse. University was also a place for bookish people who didn't need jobs to hang around and discuss whatever interested them.

It wasn’t exclusive, they’ve had Law and English departments for centuries. But the focus, particularly in regards to research, has been STEM.
Now everything has been branded a science and is studied. Often through a social lens with no real scientific principles at all (ie gender studies).
