The purpose of higher ed is to outsource the selective pressure from corporate HR depts to university admissions depts. So the corporation can hire the "right people from the right social groups" by using the degree as proxy.
Seeing as the admissions dept has already done all the work of filtering applicants to select the right ones, sure, why not.
May as well issue the degree at admission time, skip the dog and pony show of 4 years of attendance. It'll have little to no effect on outcomes in non-vocational fields.
The vocational fields don't belong at uni/college anyway, they belong at vo-tech schools just like welding or diesel repair.
