Well, it could be implemented by adopting the way in which it is done in other developed countries with free university educations: rigorous entrance examinations so that the number of students admitted can be educated within the institution’s budget without tuition receipts, using only taxpayer funds, regarding having bright students receive proper university educations as a public good, and income from endowments (even public universities now have endowments).

This would mean that college degrees would no longer be able to be used as lazy HR tools to keep applicants qualified for jobs that can be done on the basis of a high school education or simple native talent from actually being screened, and it we would need to beef up our trade schools (I favor creating polytechnics — trade schools with just a little more academic oomph, so that one would learn the science behind one’s trade plus a thin general post-secondary education).
