Simple. Remove govt money (both federal and state) from higher ed and let the students/parents pay for it (and maybe employers). The free market will determine what education has value.

In my opinion, most majors with “studies” in the name are simply training the next generation of activists who have few skills and very loud mouths.

There has always been this friction between the Rennaissance man and the Medieval specialist.

Til 1960 the dominant force in univerities favored the liberal arts/Rennaissance man. Since 1960 we have gradually trended to the Medieval man.
