BYU-PW now is preparing to offer some of the first three-year degrees in American higher education.

I’m not sure what you are implying. Are you implying that having a bachelor’s degree will only get you a McJob?
Now I am all for being wise about the degree, and not getting it in basket-weaving or something, but having a degree is definitely an advantage when it comes to looking for jobs. As long as you can do it inexpensively with little or no debt.
So are you advocating for or against a better educated population of workers who can better stand up for their rights?

Advocating against expensive degrees that potential high-remuneration employers balk at.
But the degrees this article is about are inexpensive.
And not every job is STEM-oriented, so that has no bearing whatsoever on this post. Someone going into a STEM career wouldn’t be going to this college.
Every recruiter and HR manager will have a separate file for the 3 and 4 year candidates. And the 3-year file cabinet will be round.
What?! This article is about finishing a bachelors in 3 years. Nothing on the degree would say it’s a 3-year degree. It’s a bachelors degree. Not everyone takes 4 years to finish a degree. And some take longer. But there is no such thing as a true “3-year degree.”
There are associate’s degrees and bachelor’s degrees. That’s what HR looks at, not the time it took you to get it.
You reply seems really biased like you are thing to make a bigger point about me personally and not the actual post.
If you think all that all a non-STEM bachelors degree will get you is a job at Target, that leads me to believe you have very little real world experience outside your STEM life.
I’m in the education field, so your answers are so bizarre to me.
