[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale has a reputation of being the school "where science majors go to die."[/quote]

As a general matter, good luck getting any real professors teaching your DCs at the top schools. Maybe they see one in their final year before graduating. The rest are grad students and adjuncts. Those profs that do teach can't wait to get the hell out of the classroom..[/quote]

Nonsense. 92% of instructors at Yale have a PhD or other terminal degree, according to the Common Data Set. Stop making stuff up that you think sounds right.[/quote]

"Instructors" includes adjuncts.  To understand whether the primary instructor is tenured, tenure-track, adjuncts, Graduate TAs, etc., the courses typically need to be analyzed.   USNWR published a list a few years ago of universities where Graduate TAs teach the most classes.  They were relying on data provided by the institutions, though.  I've also attached an article where a group of graduate students analyzed Yale itself and determined undergraduates were more 2X more likely to be taught by an adjunct or TA compared to a tenured professor.
