IMO the point would not only be to funnel students into majors with direct ties to employment, but to force universities to enhance the value of their liberal arts offerings.
Good, rigorous liberal arts education is an excellent thing. Too bad programs are dominated by fluff and don't convey the attributes we associate with a classical liberal arts education.

Exactly. I'm a very big proponent of overhauling A & H or LA departments into a more flexible and worthwhile degree with interdisciplinary work and more valuable degree outcomes.
But for that kind of change business must be on board to open up their hiring practices a bit.
