This is absurd. These universities aren't diploma mills. They're solid institutions in the "directional state U" tier.

Georgia State has an average SAT score of 1070. Nobody with a brain goes there. Just a societally sanctioned diploma scam for people who would be much better served by starting work right out of HS.
That's slightly above the average of SAT test takers which puts them top 1/3ish of high school students. Silly to think they don't have a brain
You clearly aren't familiar. These "universities" are a step above DeVry. They might be worse in that they cost an arm and a leg to attend.
I used to tutor CS students at several different universities during my first two years at college. I would bet my arm that none of the ones I taught from KSU wound up with a career in software.
The student perspective at these schools is that they're there for the credential, not for the learning. Even at the risk of false negatives, I would actively filter out resumes listing schools like these. I would much sooner interview a non-degree holder.
I know several graduates of GA State and KSU. Including one KSU grad that works as a software engineer.
