@GhostOnTheHalfShell @economics-that-works I would disagree. The real grift is reducing the value of education to narrow labour market ends. When the purpose of HE became simply to cater to the market through unfettered massification - instead of the place one goes to gain very specialised skills for rare jobs and broad critical thinking skills - then the institution runs after the market. The market will always move faster and is unpredictable. Universities will always lose that game.
