It’s even cheaper to just draw names at random out of a hat, but universities don’t do that. Clearly there is some other standard at work.

Hard to build a fiefdom of loyalty with an AI...

Universities should just set minimum standards and then randomly pick among all the qualified applicants until the class is full.

And then the minimum standard will be set so that exactly as many students as they need will pass it.

I am wondering if you mean that to be a startling or radical idea.

Not necessarily universities, but I do think that lotteries to determine admissions to schools is a real thing. Magnet schools or something? I don't know first hand.

It's a straightforward idea in my mind and I'm always happy to see people talking about it.

Yeah, I'm saying real examples may be useful to reduce resistance.

Lotteries tend to be used more for lower levels which are to prepare students. That is a rather substantial difference.
