I'm not sure the 'modules' proposal would be suitable for the task of ethically distributing access to university, but I certainly agree that "there is nothing inevitable about the structure of our current higher education system; that its bizarre, historically contingent features play a significant role in excluding large numbers of people from that system; and that it is ill-suited to its role." In these times of rapid change and constricting resources, more thinking along these lines is certainly called for.
