Students might be more prepared to enrol In courses which are traditionally harder If they know that if they fail one exam they wouldn't have thrown away thousands of dollars.

Maybe, at a stretch.But you can't deny there will be a huge rise in people doing college courses "for fun" on topics that interest them.I still think photography, media studies, gender studies, philosophy will see a surge in enrollment due to this.Why should the taxpayer fund these courses that have no jobs at the end and in my view in the case of gender studies are detrimental to society.Do we really need more fainting couch feminists like Anita Sarkeesian?

 

Your ignoring the fact that people want jobs, so they tend to self-regulate, your also ignoring the fact Universities set quotas due to limited places, if a course becomes very popular entrance scores go up to cap the numbers,  your also ignoring that most developed countries (not US) already have this system in place, which has been proven to be more economical than the high fee user pay system of the US
