- W292125945 abstract "much-needed discussion by Patricia Meyer Spacks, Cary Nelson and Michael Berube, and others of what George Levine aptly terms a climate of terrible austerity for recently graduated Ph.D.'s in the humanities. In their March 1994 article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Nelson and Berube identify what is, perhaps, the most ironic aspect of this harsh climate: the failure of many faculty to acknowledge that the real victims of the fiscal crisis are new Ph.D.'s seeking and to resolve to do something to improve the situation. Which is worse, I wondered while reading their critique the fact that 800 to 1 ,000 applicants compete for a single tenuretrack job in such disciplines as English; or the allegation that faculty in the humanities, for reasons either of inurement, self-protection, or a more deeply seated psychical incapacity, fail or refuse to regard this condition as a crisis? One recent study suggests that such predicaments are not confined to one corner of campus. In The Production and Utilization of Science and Engineering Doctorates in the United States, a discussion paper prepared for the Stanford Institute for Higher Education Research, William F. Massy and Charles A. Goldman conclude that perhaps 25 percent of newly minted doctorates [in the sciences] end up underemployed. They further contend that although many faculty in engineering and science departments express concern about the labor market for Ph.D.'s and will do what they can to place their own students, this concern does not typically lead to adjustments in doctoral student intakes. Why? Because faculty tend to believe that more scientifically trained manpower [sic] is better than less, and that job opportunities will materialize somehow, Massy and Goldman write, even though in some engineering disciplines doctoral supply at present exceeds demand by more than 40 percent. All too rare, it seems, are interventions such as that made by the Ph.D.granting departments in the Indiana University School of Business, which declared a moratorium on admissions into its doctoral programs for the 1993-94 academic year. The Business School did so not because its graduates weren't finding jobs (it placed nearly 100 percent of its Ph.D.'s in 1993), but rather because the quality of many of these positions had declined significantly from previous years. How many departments or schools have the wherewithal, economic and intestinal, to follow this lead? As Massy and Goldman assert, in too many departments the short-term needs of staffing introductory courses and assisting faculty research valuable activities, to be sure, in students' development if kept in balance with their ability to progress through programs take precedence over more long-range considerations." @default.
