Straw man. Sure some Universities have branched out (to fill a demand we must suppose) with non-tradition degrees. But those departments are far from large. Universities still have vigorous STEM colleges that are doing well.
Further, who's to say college is a society-profiting institution? Why them and not, say, circuses? Movie houses? Candy manufacturers? Are we so poor a nation, that we have to cut institutions to the bone and they all have to be mercenary money makers?
Educated populace makes for better voters. Which God knows we need.
