Problem is the university lobby is now massive. Tons of free money, using the only non-dischargable debt there is. The flaws in education are the flaws in politics at large - too much corruption that is too detached from the suffering of the commons. All major structural social issues trace back to a broken incentives structure and an absence of transparency and accountability at all levels that produce policy.
Of course, that means changing the framework of that decision making, which is constitutional. And the established structure is wholly intentional, it is not just some mistake the people just need to "wake up and realize is wrong, and then we can all fix it". There are antagonists who prosper under the establishment, who now wield controlling influence in all spheres.
The question for humanity in the 21st century looks to be how to fix that kind of structural misalignment of incentives towards the will of power.
