> hired and based admissions on pure skill/ability/talent

This would be great, but I will present without comment the fact that lots of large universities are suddenly getting rid of standardized-test-based admissions, which is by far the best way that we know how to do ability-based admissions.

You must understand the dynamics behind that decision to understand why it isn't currently legally/institutionally feasible to have merit-based admission.

Is this for any institution of higher learning? Or just public institutions (ie, institutions that receive public/federal money)?
