I would go one further on this. Colleges must prove that the degrees they are offering:
1.) That there is a real quantitative demand for these degrees
2.) That the graduate can actually make a living off of this degree.

So if I want a MS in TEFVS and I'm willing to pay for it the government is going to stop the school from offering me the program?

According to a Norwegian professor I had in college, this is how it worked in Norway (at least back in the 70s). Tuition was free; but you had to major in something that would eventually lead to being a productive member of society.

Or as Neil Boortz once put it: "Bitterness Studies." In fact, someone (probablly Neil) suggested that all university programs the last word of which is "Studies" be cancelled.

I wouldn’t got that far. I would think not allowing them to lead people to believe that there was a market for those degrees would be enough. Certainly a college wouldn’t float people loans for six figures when there was little hope they’d be repaid. And of course if someone is willing and able to pay full freight, they should be able to take whatever they want at their peril.
