The problem is we already have that. The market has spoken and if you get that English degree from Yale you'll be permitted to get one of the few jobs in the field with decent pay, but if you get the same degree from the same curriculum from reading the same texts and the same research journals at the state satellite campus down the road from my house, that more or less fully implements your suggestion, there are no jobs after graduation beyond Starbucks or maybe selling real estate. The price of the state satellite campus is lower than sticker for ivy leagues, but its still too high.

The real mystery is why non-credit Japanese taught by the same instructor in the same room using the same text and same syllabus on a different night of the week has a tuition of $45 but the for-credit class version of the same class is around $2K. I would guess the ivy league tuition equivalent of the same class would be $15K? The irony is the grads of all three expense levels are roughly equally skilled.
