Is college too easy?

What Racer said... and if you extend... well, my brother-in-law teaches community college, and says that the level of education of his students is equivalent to 10th grade about 20 years ago. So kids who get an associates are essentially getting the equivalent of a 1990 high school diploma, and kids who get a BA are getting the equivalent of a 1990 associate's degree.

But in talking to engineering students who interview for jobs... well, they're still held to a higher standard as near as I can tell.
