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.

It’s just super short-sided short-sighted. They have to know they’re making the thing they’re selling worthless over time if they don’t actually make it at least a little worthwhile.

Edit: Stupid typo.

The non-hyphenate is just more common in the US.

You wrote "short-sided", not "short-sighted". I wasn't noting the hyphen.
