This is so dumb that I seriously wonder if it's a fake quote or not. Because I live in a country with free higher education, and we have the exact same problems with overfinancialization that the US does, only we don't have healthcare debt and student debt. Our population even has most of the same idiotic brainworms that Americans do, as Facebook allowed for the flawless integration of American Culture War idiocy into the Danish political arena.
The original quote is from a San Fransisco Chronicle article title “Professor Sees Peril in Education” from October 30, 1970. Actually can't find that specifically though it gets sourced by dozens of other works citing it, so I'm guessing it's true.
This is Lewis Powell in the '70s and reading his writing from the timeit doesn't too far fetched. The dude was a freak.
War, Revolution and Peace. He told a press conference called "to correct misleading charges" recently made by Democrats that he thought there are a lot of students in college today who don't be- long there. "We are in danger of pro- ducing an educated proletar- iat." Freeman said. "That's dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through (higher educa- tion). "If not we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed peo- ple. That's what happened in Germany. I saw it happen."
Yeah. It feels like the author confused the class character of state university students (largely proletariat) with the consequences of educating said students (Marxist professors!!!)
Large numbers of young proles living together naturally produce revolutionary action whether they're on a university campus or behind a Starbucks counter or on the floor of a textile mill. Reagan's guy was responding to the anti-war sentiments of the 60s and believed universities were catalyzing the activism because that's where news media focused coverage. But the real driver of anti-war action was the consequences of the war itself.

It’s behind a paywall but in archives on that date searching for “educated proletariat”.
