Admission score is a bad metric for passing university. Raising it will proportionally push out both the good and the bad. The problems outlined in the article are amplified in higher education, where students have to self-regulate their work, as opposed to lower levels, where you're more "forced."

Taking in the students and letting them fail is more fair. But it's also unfair to decent students if the level of education is dropped to make more students pass.
