"Wesleyan University offers a three-year bachelor's degree"
It's not exactly the way I'd do it, but on the whole I'd say this is a good idea.
Sounds reasonable. Graduating in fewer years = a shorter time frame in which to drop out + fewer loans to take out = fewer people having trouble repaying student loans = good thing! (as you pointed out last week)
I would have preferred more focus on things like CLEP and less on AP, but not to the extent I strongly object to Wesleyan's plan. God know universities should be more flexible.
