> Why are people (students, faculty) playing along with that? My theory: Since the early 1970's the number of college administrators has gone up radically. Here is one example but it seems to be the same everywhere[0]. All things being equal one can assume that more administrators = more policy, more policy = more bad policy. As organizations grow they often turn inward and focus on their own propagation more so than their original mandate. That tends to end up in a scenario that, the bad policy that inevitably results from policy creation is defended as arguing against it is seen as a attack on the organization itself. A organization like that is calcified, it's members stop asking questions as they have seen others that have been punished for that insolence and they simply tow the line in order to make it out the other end (graduation or retirement respectively).
