"I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability,” Nail meet hammer head! They began pushing this idea of universal college decades ago and to aid in this they promoted grade inlation and easy acceptance. But it didn't start at college; it started with public schooling which dumbed down the education of kids to a point where a college degree became the equivalent of a high school diploma and everyone thought they needed a degree to avoid being some sort of loser. Of course the Leftists had by then taken control of the chairs of most departments in most colleges and so turned them into factories turning out radicals. Outside of just a few disciplines (like engineering or medicine, I suppose) a college degree is in fact a disqualification for most employment or should be. You are going to get a better quality of employee with a guy who quit school to help finance his family. He doesn't feel entitled.
