Academia will never go for this of its own volition, because "higher education is about learning for its own sake and becoming a more complete individual and citizen" is key to academics' self-conception. They never want to admit to being "mere" vocational training, now matter how clear it is that's what they are and have been for a while. If your proposed change does happen, it will have to be forced on them from without.
