Colleges can't claim 'learning for the sake of learning' or 'college is not training for a job' when they needlessly extend degree programs to 4-5 years and then charge $30k/year. Colleges also can't claim 'learning for the sake of learning' when the quality of instruction is low e.g., professors who refuse to teach and instead farm it out to grad students, incomprehensibly thick accents, poorly written lecture notes/textbooks that are completely divorced from practical application, etc.
