  That's why you factor in job placement rates. Degree-mills are already a problem.

    For "workforce training" in Texas, we have a rolling average criteria (along with several other metrics). Which is good, because economic fluctuations affect the job market. Some classes just can't seem to catch a break. To add to that, they tighten the noose with every legislative session. It appears to be the intention to make our pay proportional to "graduate success"; which will likely end up meaning GPA. That would put the same incentives in place for public college instructors that have existed in for-profit schools.
