But if the research grants are cut, then those grad researchers can get paid to teach as long as they are still enrolled.

Schools are already allowing smart upperclassmen to be TA type people as well. That's kind of an infinite supply at really good large public schools.  Right now they don't try very hard to recruit them.

Professors can teach more hours a week in an emergency.  Can't realistically grade hundreds more items but can teach a few more hours.

At my top MBA program, I was horrified to find out that the Corporate Strategy profs paid second year MBAs a fast-food level wage to grade first-year MBAs' midterms and finals.  But surely there's a lesson there for more conscientious departments facing staffing shortages.

Big means depth of resources and lots of people whose jobs can be altered.

I'm also interested to see if the allegedly job-stealing AI can be repurposed to do more sophisticated grading.[/quote]
