Unfortunately, universities now are simply indoctrination camps. They can’t go off the “script” because they’re all (or mostly) influenced by fiat money
Case in point: look at what they teach in institutions that they used to be respected like Harvard, MIT, Uchicago, etc
Moreover, the internet is making knowledge more accessible than ever before, so I believe universities will lose their importance slowly, as they’re absurdly expensive. If someone wants to “learn” he/she can learn almost anything they want online.
I understand that certain fields may still need those “certifications”, but a lot of fields really don’t
