The Left wants everyone to go to college because if you educate the proles, they get pissed off about their situation and the waste of their life at the hands of an entrenched elite, and you get a violent revolution (in theory). The Center wants everyone to go to college because it's an easy way to throw money at deep social problems under the pretenses of improving equality (in theory). The Corporate Right likes this whole mess because it's a sorting mechanism paid-for by the people being sorted. I won't even pretend to know what the Radical Right wants. Religious indoctrination, perhaps? They aren't much of a player in the higher-ed debates. The Corporate Right is the only party that is actually getting what it wants.
