The graduate at a minimum, has essentially demonstrated that he *can*
learn and *can* be taught. He's proven that he has learned the basics
~ at least one would hope so if he was hired into a profession that
the got a degree for.


You sure about that? Have you not seen the concern over rampant rise in
cheating in the past two decades in school and colleges? Perhaps he's
only proven that he can lie, cheat and steal the basis of that degree,
and/or that his parents are wealthy enough to insure that he gets an
increased opportunity.

We see frequent examples of well educated folks, politicians, corporate
executives, et al, lying about their military service, and CEO's padding
their resumes with fictitious education achievement, and one is to
assume that they were somehow shining examples of honesty when it came
to getting through a degree program?

Not bloody likely ...
