This would basically make art degrees and history degrees unattainable except for the rich. Not that I mind, but that is the complaint you'll get with this syst

  I'd disagree. The cost of delivering an arts and history course should be cheaper than say a course requiring a medical-teaching-hospital, a super-computer, wind-tunnel - whatever. If all you need are some great lecturers, you can poach them and set up a department somewhere with a low cost of living for staff and students. These subjects are also a fine fit for distance-learning, part-time etc. Basically, I'd hope that universities would be forced to consider how they could reduce the cost of these courses in a sensible way. Current system of "all of you get on this expensive campus and pay your share" is unfair, as a lot of the benefits of this are skewed.

  That's a feature, not a bug.
