The fastest way to improve colleges is to make it illegal to require 4+ year degrees for any job that pays less than 200,000 dollars per year and index that amount to inflation, and apply similar standards to visas etc. All but eliminate student loan programs. Partially cancel the debts with taxes on university endowments.
What I described is hard to pull off but very easy to enforce. What you described is easy to pull off nominally but impossible to enforce. Passive systems of regulation are more effective than active ones, especially when the active ones are working against natural human incentives.
