Elite university sucks. It destroys your soul, ruins your health, messes up your internal reward systems.

The only redeeming feature is being able to meet other cool, interesting, weird (but often broken) people.

But that gets old quickly and doesn't lead to a great life on its own.

You're correct, DEI is a scapegoat. I think the real answer is that it's just a bad value proposition at this point in time and those with high IQ's recognize this. The cost of attending vs. what the degree guarantees have never had a less favorable relationship in history. It just isn't worth it anymore.
