Folks with that piece of parchment want it because it acts as a gatekeeper to keep the rest of the great unwashed out.

Heck yeah! That's funny but you are absolutely RIGHT!

The "first group of Flexible Option programs planned for Fall 2013" is as follows:

UW-Milwaukee
• BS in Information Science & Technology
• Certificate in Professional and Technical Communication
• Health professional upgrade programs: RN to BSN, RN to MN, and a bachelor's completion program for certified diagnostic imaging professionals

UW Colleges (Community colleges)
• Courses
• There's a very hedged statement that there might be AA and AS degrees on the way: They "will work to provide" them

UW-Superior and UW Independent Learning
• Courses

Well nothing here that helps me, but it's all part of The Change higher ed is undergoing and that's good enough for me! Most interesting in the short-term for folks are the courses that may be available that one could transfer elsewhere! If the costs are low they could beat out BYU and other similar options.
