If there was stringent grade and test requirements, if there was no box to be checked for race or sex, if there was a finite number of openings for only very needed professions, I’d be fine with it on a two year college. If the minute your grades collapsed you were toss out, then great.

Yup. Attended a private college back in stone age when it was affordable assuming you had a part time job or VA benefits. Required to take minimum of 12 credit hours on the semester system BUT you must graduate in 4 years. Receive less than 2.0 GPA in any semester or fail one course, onto probation you went. Second violation was good bye. This was in the era of earning your letter grade, not pass fail, not everyone gets a trophy.
Yes, dating back to at least Bill Clinton we got the brainwashing of “Everyone needs to go to college” and the standards started dropping, then universities hopped on the student loan scam which is an ever expanding cycle of outrageous tuition hikes and financed luxury student lifestyles.
“What? Your college doesn’t have a water park?! What kind of slum is THAT?”
