The for profit model is competitive. Schools in more rural southern areas, as they “wash out” 80% or more of their student body, wouldn’t be able to compete for top academic talent with the urban schools. Your schools performance essentially becomes a reflection of your demographic, and you lose any ability to compete. Let the free market be the free market.

This is a good link about earnings by major. As expected engineering, IT, a sprinkling of business and science dominate the top end. After that a few surprises:
A person with a bachelors in Rhetoric earns more on average than one in finance or CIS.
A person with a bachelors in Japanese, German, or Italian earns more in average than one in microbiology or accounting.

The “over admit and flunk out” model was employed at the LSU law school for many years. The stated goal was to make students compete for their education. The actual reason was to subsidize small upper level classes with oversized freshman classes.
It was a bad system. But also those were law students, who were accomplished university students already. I can’t imag how unfocused a campus atmosphere would be if everyone got to be essentially babysat between 18 and 20.

I’ll add that you could kiss your community colleges and small state school goodbye in this model. There is a college out there for everyone if they are willing to work for it.

I would imagine this would diminish the exclusive nature of getting in if everyone were invited
Well that and it would be hard to staff a college of 800,000 students

Comments: the For profit college model has inflated the cost of a college education to ridiculous levels.

I though about that. I guess you would have a constant churn of new students coming in to replace the old, but how does a campus in Auburn or Starkville staff up like that? What happens to enrollment when your graduation rate hits 12%? And when parents of bright kids go elsewhere because your campus looks like East St Louis, what do you do to compete?

The elite level universities almost all have fewer than 10,000 total students. There may be 1 or 2 with more, but they are very small institutions.
