Colleges have been taking credit for the intelligence of their students. The very intelligent will earn above avreage incomes with or without a BA. Those who seek to expand access to higher education beyond its already inflated enrollments are engaging in the fallacy that higher education makes people smarter. Charles Murray of the AEI has addressed this issue in detail. He argues that no more than 20%, and probably closer to 10% of the population can really make use of a higher education.
