You completely ignored the point about it being the higher education system that is one of the most powerful engines of upward social mobility in the country, in contrast to trends at private universities.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/18/upshot/some-colleges-have-more-students-from-the-top-1-percent-than-the-bottom-60.html …
separate from the question of whether elitist top-down social planning is the point of college, nothing you’ve cited is relevant to the original point of mine that *you* completely ignored: with standards these low the degrees will be worthless. your equalization is canceled.
