The best option for employers is to focus on who can solve problems regardless of University degree or things like that otherwise the purpose of school is defeated
People go to school to gain proper knowledge of things that matter and use that for the good of society and their own good. Employers have to focus on people who have the right knowledge to fit in particular roles in a company or business and for the benefit of society. I believe it's right to go for the best, not minding whether they own the school or university degree or not. That is how a  society will be able get the best services or products from such company. And the company would be profitable.

The best or good quality should always be the standard regardless of where they come from. If the university can produce the best, fine, otherwise people are free to get them from anywhere. If they are asked for proof of education they should be bold enough to show where the knowledge that made them the best really comes from. I for example could present the Word/Knowledge of GOD and expect It to be approved immediately since it's producing great result for the company.

Companies and others should simply focus on who can get things done better. That could also help the certificate issuing universities to focus on what works for their students rather than how the system wants them to be programmed.
