This is all part of the end of expertise. But there will be push back. Academia will not be treated as folly. Do the work, get the degree and then start the challenge. This is a feather to a gun fight.

I wouldn't be so sure. Academic institutions have been commercialized and they're going to do what gets them money, not what maintains or increases intellectual rigour. The best STEM university in the region I live is slowly turning into a party school and the university administration is doing little to nothing about it because goddamnit those hooligans are paying customers. Universities, and therefore academia as it is, are complicit.
