Trivia
  • Loceff has sneaked in several subtle references to his teaching career on 24. Milo Pressman's CTU password is "foothill94022." 94022 is the postal code for Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California. In a previous episode of the show, a character used the secret password "Etudes", the name of his online teaching software.[1]
gollark: If the government throws piles of money at free education, you would, presumably, eventually get the majority of people going through university or something. Which would be nice, if it did not also cost a vast amount of money. And at the same time you dilute... whatever the degree is supposed to represent... and I don't really know what happens.
gollark: But that university has basically no incentive to have reasonable prices.
gollark: I said "many", not "all".
gollark: The government throwing money at it will not make that better.
gollark: In many cases you just need to have *a degree* of some sort, even if it's completely pointless, because it shows... that you have the patience to do a thing for 4 years or something??
