There's nothing wrong with open admissions, as long as your graduation rate isn't high as well.
If your goal is a high graduation rate, you will have a high graduation rate. There is nothing inherently good about high graduation rates.
A lot of state schools used to have open admissions. The thought was, it's easy to get in, but the hard part is actually staying in.

Benedict College in Columbia, last I heard, basically guaranteed graduation as long as students showed up to class. They were guaranteed no less than a C by just attending.

That's how my school was (don't know if it still is because that was 25 years ago). Pretty much everyone could get in because it's a state school, but ~50% of the freshman would drop out because it was so difficult. Trial by fire.
