I find it hard to believe an entire state wouldn't be able to provide adequate education for thise students as opposed to enabling a corrupt corporation to continue just punishing them by taking away their toys.
-MSU has over 50,000 students. Adsorbing that many students into other schools would require every other state school taking on students. Hiring more staff and building more student housing. Those things take time.
And what about the students that are going to MSU to be close to home, they now have to move away. Even worse, what about commuter students. You are severely ******* them over. Part time students that work also work get screwed over too.
-Previous graduates now have degrees from a school that doesn't exist. Beyond putting a black mark in those degrees you also make it harder for them to get background checks for jobs done.
-All the faculty with would be out of a job. Most will not be able to find work until next school year. Professor might lose access to their research and tenure status
-All the support staff will be out of work. Plumbers, janitor, security guards, food workers, etc. These are thousands of jobs lost. It would be difficult for the state to just find them news ones because the demand for their jobs in their location in state system would not exist
-All the private businesses that rely on business from the school and students. Barbershops, restaurants, convenience stores, etc. All the companies that have contracts to perform services at MSU. Their business will be severely hurt by MSU closing down. Large universities are a major economic anchor for surrounding businesses.
You can have whatever opinion you what to have. But closing down MSU would have a massive negative impact on the lives of tens of thousands of people that have nothing to do with the scandals that have taken place.
And it would not be an easy problem to fix. This should not be downplayed if we are discussing the morally right way to fix the issues wat MSU.
