>"Weeding out" is what college admissions should be doing, not the departments. When the departments weed someone out, they've wasted at least a year of their life and a year in tuition, and demoralized them.
Admissions can't weed people out, they can only copy the weeding that highschool has done. If you rephrases the question that way, as in, "should highschool teachers be responsible for college admissions," then the idea of letting people join a major they haven't proven themselves capable of doesn't sound so bad after all.
