The reform needs to come in the non professional college settings especially.
The time value money proposition on a history or philosophy degree just isn't there. However the critical thinking skills learned are valuable.
I think all of first year should be replaced with a world class lecturer model and grad students running TA sessions. Have the best science educator teaching first year physics. You could have Neil Degrasse Tyson teaching your physics class along with 100,000 other students and just have the local universities mark assignments and do the labs.
You probably save about 10% on university delivery and eliminate the need for massive lecture halls on Campus.
