But at the same time, it's undermining this more general less quantifiable liberal purpose that liberal arts education serves to reproduce capitalist society. I mean, this is something that has been important to the system since the get go. So I'm guessing it's some purpose in reproducing the system. And it's maybe like a case study of this broader contradiction we're seeing in terms of capitalism and a liberalism.
