In the latest barrage of institutional idiocy, Purdue University Northwest is pleading ignorance, claiming it can't find a single American to teach marketing classes for a whopping $127,500 a year. This ludicrous assertion first reared its ugly head on Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion, and frankly, it's an insult to every qualified American marketing professional.

Does this esteemed institution really expect us to believe this farcical narrative? Are they trying to say that in the melting pot of talents that is the Chicago area, not a single individual is capable of imparting marketing knowledge for a salary that's significantly above the national average? Here's a reality check, Purdue: You're not fooling anyone with your blatant disrespect for American intellect and talent.

This is not about a lack of talent. It's about an elite academic institution engaging in a puppet show, using immigration loopholes to hire cheaper labor under the guise of a 'talent crisis'. It's not about finding the most qualified person for the job; it's about finding the most cost-effective solution for their balance sheet, even if that means undermining American professionals.

Let's clear the air and expose the real agenda behind this farcical claim. Purdue U. Northwest, like many institutions in the American education system, is more concerned with their financial bottom line than they are with providing quality education or supporting domestic talent. They're willing to exploit the H-1B visa system - a program designed to address genuine shortages in highly specialized areas - as a cheap labor loophole, rather than invest in homegrown talent.

This is not only a slap in the face to countless qualified, unemployed, or underemployed American marketing professionals, it's a brutal reminder of how universities have morphed from centers of learning into corporate-style profit machines. They squeeze students for every last penny, all while crying poverty when it comes to paying for top-tier American educators.

Purdue U. Northwest, your claim is not just a lie; it's an affront to every hardworking American who has invested their time, effort, and money to acquire the skills that you claim to be 'unavailable.' You're perpetuating a narrative that devalues American workers and undermines the integrity of our education system.

The message here is clear. The "No Americans Available" farce must stop. It's time we expose these tactics for what they truly are: a blatant abdication of responsibility to develop and nurture American talent, in favor of easier, cheaper options.

The next time Purdue or any other institution tries to sell this 'no qualified Americans' nonsense, remember this: It's not about ability. It's about greed. It's about an education system that has lost its way, prioritizing profit over people, bottom lines over brains.

It's time we demand better from our educational institutions. We deserve institutions that value our talent, that invest in our future, and that are willing to pay a fair wage for a hard day's work. Anything less is a betrayal of the American Dream.
