In favor of liberal education

I love liberal education, and am most upset at how it is being screwed every possible way.  While there is some fancy rhetoric, no doubt, in the video here, most of what she (a faculty member at the U of Minn.) says is true.  True there, true at my place of work, and true at practically every university.  When she says biomedical engineering versus humanities, for my world it might be nursing or computer science vs. humanities ... the athletics she refers to is NCAA-I, and ours is Div II ... the mathematical concept of similar but not congruent triangles :)
