@conor64 my very dumb idea is that academia is far too centralized, both in terms of institutions and geography

@conor64 i'd like to see an increase the number of academic institutions in non-major metro areas, less concentration of funding and power in a few elite institutions, less concentration in the northeast and west coast

@conor64 more small schools in the middle of nowhere

basically increase the surface area where academia and normal life interact

@conor64 oh and somebody mentioned community colleges, which are a big part of my thinking on this

moar community colleges, moar funding for community colleges
