[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One issue is professors (regardless of age) needing to adjust to current demands and interests. Looking, for example, at the faculty profiles at one slac my kid is interested in, I’m seeing bios that haven’t changed much in decades. Professors who still specialize in areas that were last super hot in the late 80s. As families consider the extraordinary costs of undergrad, they want offerings in poli sci that include, say, more quantitative skills. For smaller schools in particular, that might require increased use of adjuncts to meet those demands while they wait for their tenured professors to step up or move on.[/quote] More ageism. Those changes are made in the required courses for the degree. It’s not necessary for every professor to teach it and they all have specialities. [/quote]
