If you’re going to do that, the price would drop commensurately for the students as well. They should be locked in behind walls the entire term, wear striped jumpsuits, and do hard labor every week.
And risk getting bitchslapped or beat down in the yard between classes if they act like jackasses.
But let’s talk turkey:
1) Require the actual Ph.D. professors to actually teach their own damned classes. No TAs, grad students, and all the other bullshit that lets them screw off rather than do their jobs. Students don’t take it seriously, because the profs don’t either.
2) Ban any electronic devices in college during class except calculators or voice recorders. No laptops, no cellphones, nothing. Bring one to class, your final grade drops a letter. If you’re in a pass-fail class, bummer for you, huh?
3) Three strikes on absences. Miss three classes, you’ve just drop-failed.
4) Ditch the bullshit. No soft majors. No touchy-feely horseshit. No safe spaces. Anyone complaining their feelings were hurt gets dropped a final grade. A second instance gets’ them drop-failed, and they aren’t allowed to return until they complete a year in the infantry or the Army or Marines, or a year on the streets as a first responder. Nobody gives a shit about your feelings. Open your ears, and your mind, and STFU. Call it Karen’s Law.
5) Disrupt the educational process in any way, and you’re expelled for a year; no tuition refund. Do it again, and you’re expelled for life. Teachers and students alike.
6) If the professor wanders off the reservation to expound on topics in no way related to the course’s subject matter, they go on half-pay for that year. Twice, and they’re suspended for a year. Three times? Fired and blackballed. Ditto for any socio-political rants of any stripe on class time. Three times in a career, and you’re an ex-professor. You’re there to instruct, not to indoctrinate.
The students aren’t the entire problem.
Then can tell they’ve been bullshitted when they see what passes for instruction on a topic, and they’re paying professors, and their underlings, exactly the attention they deserve.
