If candidate A and candidate B have the same training (ATPL) ,the same flight experience but one holds a university degree and the other not, then I think the one with the degree should get the job. Maybe the candidate without the degree is a better pilot BUT the other one has worked harder and managed to earn his degree.
What utter rubbish. One can get a degree at some universities just by dragging ones backside out of bed and attending lectures. Also what use is something like an Art degree in aviation ?. Fair enough if it is something relevant like engineering or an academic subject that require alot of research, but some degree's are not worth the paper they are written on.
