Frankly if universities want to actually stop this they have to treat it like the academic dishonesty it is and start expelling people.

What makes you think they actually care whether the students learn anything or not? It's all about the money at this point. Students pay, they receive a diploma. The End.

They’re devaluing education and they should care about that.

When I’m looking at a resume, a college degree from certain schools used to mean something.

They don’t, because money has become more important than anything else and that’s just… normal now.
