...root of the problem is the ejido system of land reform, enshrined in Mexico's constitution of 1917. Individual peasants are given the use of small farms on government reserves or expropriated land, which they can transfer to their children but cannot sell or mortgage to obtain desperately needed bank loans. The result is the atomization of landholdings: most Mexican farms average 15 acres in size.

The substance of my answer was that the best of the faculty would be driven out by this scheme. The resulting parody of such a college as Amherst would certainly not have the distinction of Amherst, or any distinction...
