(I'm going to ignore his use of "liberal" which is confusing)

Is he saying that American universities focus too much on job skills and not on a broad renaissance education? Isn't it the opposite?

I think it’s a question of perspective, I think that people complain about is more that the things some people learn on American universities are a waste of time rather than it’s too generalist.

I agree with that

That's the orthodoxy throughout most of the American education policy chattering classes, yes. Francis disagrees with them.
I wonder what made Pope Francis comment on American universities
