I could risk a suggestion, but you seem like you are in the US and frankly what you describe does not line up with my experience of higher education pretty much at all, so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be useful.
I'll just say that that seems like it sucks, it's not what higher education should be about and you guys should probably get around to fixing it at one point or another.

The only thing I can say is that many large IT organizations require a degree. Not for any good reason, but it’s a thing you may have to contend with.

Only in certain sectors, like healthcare. It doesn’t matter that healthcare has many/most of the same IT needs/jobs as the rest, the healthcare industry has a mindset that degrees are important.
But even in those, experience is still king.
