We turned higher ed into a qualification producing factory subsidized by the government at the expense of the kid's financial future. We overemphasized passing over learning, as the education is about the title, not the knowledge. It's not the student's fault that we created this incentive structure. The students that want to learn can still learn, those that come to higher education with a transactional mindset now can just pay for their degree. The truth is we are at the point where the logic of the commodification of our higher education system is being taken to its logical conclusion which is its own undoing.
