If you didn't know any better, based on the art alone, you would also believe that he had potential. It's all about potential.

The only time you can really get thrown out is Junior Reviews, when it's more like they don't let you keep your major if you haven't shown any improvement. From what I've seen of his work (like that art timeline meme he did), he was actually improving (slightly) until AFTER he graduated, when it went downhill pretty quick, since no one was lighting a fire under his rear end to actually try.

e: also yeah it's a private college, they're not actually going to kick anyone out if they're paying tuition money.

I don't really know how American college works (especially private), but can you not fail a degree by being objectively poo poo by the end even though relatively you're improving? is there no regulation as to what standard you have to be at to earn the degree? Surely the point of having one is to prove you have some baseline level of ability, not just that you 'improved' :psyduck:

Yeah, that's the thing about the K&K world. In universe, humans have evolved past the point where they were supposed to, e.g. the point where we started disrupting and destroying the environment. So birds from our future traveled into an alternate past and stopped monkeys from evolving into humans, instead uplifting every animal and shepherding the evolution of their culture into an exact duplicate of our own without the industrial revolution somehow loving over the environment.

So anything that's a purely human construct is bad, but anything that can be attributed to animal behavior is good. So tool use is bad except when it's Information Technology but overusing technology is bad except when it isn't because The Birds say so.

He had improved, the thing was that he attributed the improvement to "being forced to work in someone else's style to make the grade" rather than "being trained to make something that's aesthetically pleasing." Once he got out of college he backslid to the point where he's at now.

The way it works with most programs (as someone who went to a private American university) is that you get credits by passing classes and you get your degree once you get a certain number of credits (and also fulfill some number of other criteria like a thesis or breadth requirements or whatever), and if you haven't fulfilled all the requirements after four years you have to stay on until you either finish up or decide to give up and stop racking up debt (at which point you have definitively flunked out). It's theoretically possible to pass art classes while not being very good at art by coasting through on a Gentleman's C, but I'm not sure if that's what happened here.

Private colleges are basically giant scams built around sucking as much money out of the federal student loans program as possible and then leaving the student with crippling debt and a worthless degree at best.

The Ivy League are all private colleges. You're thinking specifically of for-profit colleges; important distinction :eng101:

(that said, it appears a large number of America's accredited for-profit colleges are in fact art schools)

K&K is really weird. I love that birds were the next logical species to rise to sapience after humanity evolved into beings of pure energy.

Of course after becoming sapient they immediately turned into malevolent beings and went full on Terminator, but you left out the best part. After going back in time and playing god they grew tired of ruling the world as the shadowy dominion of the birds, so they created Skynet. Skynet then took over ruling the world under the cover of Y2K, and the bird illuminati shot their advanced technologies far into the future to prevent tampering. Finally they washed their wings of the whole affair and went on to live normal bird lives.

Oh and the leader of the bird illuminati went to live as a dolphin in the human world after Skynet took over.

You just need to pass. It's really easy to pass art school if you do the bare minimum. The trick is to leverage the resources available to you to really make something out of the experience instead of spend 4 years doing nothing but what you're told to do and then expect to be handed a job on your way out.
Also, the threat of failing probably lit a fire under his rear end. His art timeline meme showed actual improvement (however incremental) during his college years and then immediately goes back to eyebrow motion line bonanza time as soon as he's out.
