Yes...but the academic elitism poison has created some additional horrid problems:
4.) "Price No Object" college education. When a college turns itself into a luxury lifestyle club and gold-plated monument to its own glory, it needs to be fully reclassified and taxed as such.
5.) "College Degree Required" credential inflation. If the goal was to debt-burden and generally screw up the lives of average young people, while growing & enriching the whole college industry, I'd count this a huge success. Otherwise? No, FAIL.

This is usually just due to societal bias (oh, the guy from Harvard _must_ be good!), and honestly, on average, people who graduated from a top school (especially the ones that get in on merit and !legacy) are generally better than average.
