Time we got rid of these college professors anyway, the whole structure needs to end. The book scam, with Professors writing their own textbooks for the class and forcing the students to buy it, an OBVIOUS conflict of interest. With technology, any lecture of PHD quality can be found online.Sitting in a lecture call with a guy making 6 figures, who doesn't even evaluate or grade your work, as in the UC system grading is done by TA'S who run the discussion sections is pointless. So these professors are getting paid solely to lecture, and I can find a better lecturer valid of being called an expert online. I have to sit through an Astronomy lecture when I can watch Carl Sagan lecture and take notes? The book store scam alone is bullshit, now they don't even allow used books because you have to buy an access code to use the online part of the class. So you buy an ENTIRE NEW BOOK, the same book but each semester has a new logon code. The books are HUNDREDS of dollars.
Do I really need to hear a history teacher lecture on the Civil War with all the rich literature on the event? Does Mr. history Professor have something new to ad on the civil war this semester? Did the south actually win? No, he is repeating the same lecture he did last semester. often with a six figure salary and government health benefits from a public school

We are still using the Prussian school system of learning from the 19th century in the year 2020. Why isn't everyone learning calculus from the best calculus teacher in the world instead of some local yokel?
There are schools like the Delphi Academy in Oregon that teach a different method where each student focuses on one subject at a time and goes at there own pace. They do not move to the next chapter until they are proficient in the last. These kids graduate early and are excepted into MIT, Caltech, Harvard, etc.
Here is a good article about where our schooling needs to advance:
