What caused the increase in people going to college to get worthless degrees, was a 1970 Supreme court ruling, Griggs v Duke Power, which barred using tests for job applicants if a lower percentage of blacks passed. So companies used "college degree" as a means of checking if the applicant was literate.
Pass legislation that says that tests may be used in hiring and promotion, without regard to whether different groups pass at different rates, and the college industry will implode. Companies could once-again hire straight out of high school, selecting for applicants with high SAT scores.
In a perfect world maybe....conservatives have tried that righteous route so much that we are going extinct...because the leftists have no concerns about crushing our free speech...

Ferreting out perverse incentives - and their toxic unintended consequences is as important as cutting silly regulations... Thanks for sharing this Papabear...
