Employers don't care, they just want the degree credential box checked. Valid point if the knowledge is what you're after.

Employers don't care unless they do, if they do then they'll put your resume in the reject pile just by the university they don't greatly of. There is some level they are looking for, that bar could be very low (WGU is fine) or very high (even UW isn't good enough).
As someone who manages a team and hires good number of candidates, I can confirm that I do care a lot where a candidate learned what they claim on their transcripts. Its not the only thing I care about but certainly MIT and The University of Phoenix resumes do not go into the same pile. Don't fool yourself.
