     "Courses will be capped that do not have a high proportion of graduates getting a professional job, going into postgraduate study or starting a business"

     From now on, philosophy, language, religion, politics, and culture will be exclusively the purview of the very rich.

     For everyone else, college is where you will acquire specific skills that you will trade for wages on the capitalist market. Nothing else.

     Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.
