I think back of all of it is credentialism, the idea that the degree and the GPA are the point, the insistence on the shortest path to both for market reasons; at the upper end university is a Student Experience and at the lower end it certifies you for data entry. This corrodes the desire to learn.

"The Deloitte report contained false citations, pulled from made-up academic papers to draw conclusions for cost-effectiveness analyses, and cited real researchers on papers they hadn’t worked on, the Independent found."

They also rely entirely on the Cattel-Horn-Carroll theory without engaging in the many criticisms that have been made of the CTC model. CTC and other psychometric instruments like it are historically rooted in eugenics. Everything leads back to eugenics in AGI! www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-...
