Because boomer parents and employers still think university is the same as it was 20+ years ago when they attended. So they tell the clueless 18 year olds fresh out of high school that they need to get a degree to get anywhere in life. And so they sign up for massive student loans because after a decade and a half of government school they're retarded and are incapable of critical thinking.

The only thing I'll ever defend about "Communism" is the only thing I actually agree on, that Communism never really states in its ideology, but I came up with it that somewhat falls in line with a Communist belief.
Practical education > Intended-To-Fail Conformist Education.
This is why the "Intended-To-Fail Conformist Education" is a bad thing. The 4.0GPA system & Common Core, intentionally seeks to fail students and hold them back based on some grade on a silly sheet of paper that basically means absolutely nothing in the real world, so you got your High School Diploma or GED equivalent, great, how much that you actually learned in school became of practical use for you in the real world to make a living? That's a rhetorical question with no single one correct answer. The problem is the major issue of how this reflects test scores Nationally, regardless of niglets on average low IQ being jumbled in with whites, Asians and so forth, not to mention the direct impact this actually has on students that "fail" grades and have to repeat the year over and over until they get passing grades (and again this is regardless of whether or not these students are just functionally retarded). -- Point being, the system seeks in its intent to fail these students and hold them back.
Practical education would be so much more useful and would benefit society greater than the system we have now. Absolutely under no circumstance is a student ever to be held back to repeat a year just because of a "failing" grade on a stupid sheet of paper, and there's no High School Diploma or GED equivalent necessary just to show or prove such a student is "competent". The intent here is to actually prepare students for the real world by offering a selection of options for them to choose from, say for example if a student just doesn't give a damn about learning how to wire a circuit on a stupid sheet of paper, give that student the materials & resources necessary to learn how to wire that circuit by hand -- some people learn better when they have something physical that they can actually interact with for instance -- guaranteed this such student would likely seek to become an Electrician as he/ she graduates -- alternatively if a student is just able to learn this trade skill a lot better/ easier by having a grade stamped on their sheet of paper by all means let them have this as an option too. The key point of this argument is that 1.) students have options to be educated through practical methods and 2.) there should be no students held back to repeat a year what-so-ever (if a student just simply does not give two shits about graduating learning a useful trade skill to make it in the real world then by all means let him/ her graduate to be satisfied working as a cashier or scrubbing toilets at Walmart for all I care, so long as he/ she isn't held back to repeat years just because they're either too stupid or just didn't give a damn about learning something.)

Couldn't of said it better myself. Bravo! It took me years to stumble on this ideology, and I've never failed to learn anything I've set my mind towards because of it. I'm going to do the same for my kids, if I have kids, instead of the fucked up education system.

Why do people still think Western universities have value
Because they still DO have academic value. Would you let a surgeon without an university degree cut you open?
Theyre still gatekeepers to high-paying jobs, so even if they had no academic value, they still can help you get a high-paying job.
They are still a filter for higher IQ, which is a valuable information if youre a high-IQ looking for a high-IQ sexual partner.
Universities do have a great societal value, thats why it was so important for leftists to subvert them. The goal is not to abandon or shut down universities, but to ban leftism alltogether.
No leftism, no leftist subversion.

Because they hate their children in order to skirt responsibility for failing to protect them from earlier indoctrination. They are already in for quite more than a penny

Because people have no ability to see the bigger picture. They are “retarded”
