Most colleges are degree mills at this point. One of the fruits of our toxically optimistic western culture is an industry which caters to children who believe they won't fail, so long as they "work hard". That's an excellent attitude for extracting money, but hardly realistic enough for generating value.
It's time to acknowledge that not all degrees are equally useful, and neither are all people. Watering down standards to throw graduate degrees at everybody won't solve any of society's problems - you're just flailing vainly against the normal-like distribution of intelligence.
