Some points:
The longer we discourage college education, the more we’ll have program “shtick” and the associated Chilul Hashem, etc.
Some of the very Chareidi Brooklyn girls’ schools (except for Chassidish), are today offering courses specifically for college credits, which tells me that there has been discussion with Gedolim. These schools dont make a step without Atzas Gedolim.
I’ve personally had a discussion with the Novominsker Rebbe regarding college individuals. Perhaps his own grandchildren dont go, but he certainly doesnt look down at it as Treif and the death of someone’s spirituality.
Most importantly, why hasnt anyone mentioned Rav Pam ZT”L, in my opinion a Gadol B’Gedolim, who was very ok with college?
