> whose job it is to produce worthwhile outcomes for the vast majority of their students If that were the case, wouldn't we be able to point to some kind of evidence of that being the case? Nobody seems to know what these worthwhile outcomes are. It has even failed demonstrate the most popular college claim: That its graduates will make more money. In reality, incomes have held stagnant through the rise of college. Furthermore, if we compare the USA, where ~40% of its population is a college graduate, with its nearest neighbour Canada, where ~70% of its population is a college graduate, the median American without a college degree makes ~50% more than the median Canadian with a college degree. It seems the actual job of college is to act as the arbiter into certain supply managed careers (doctors, lawyers, etc.), ensuring that only the "top 10%" of students are permitted into those professions.
