> There is so much broken with modern universities and incentives around pricing - why are all degrees four years? Why does a classics degree cost the same as a CS degree when the market value of a classics degree is basically zero?

Totally agree. Despite 100s of choices for universities in the US, they all appear to be cookie cutter copies of each other.

The 100s of choices in university are all accredited by the same few accreditation bodies. This is a partial cause of the cookie cutter nature of the degree programs.
