Or are you struggling to get enough scholarship applicants? [I am] looking for quotes from university leaders … about whether they are having trouble getting enough applicants for graduate scholarships. A core issue concerning enrollment and scholarship applications is that many students have figured out that almost nobody needs a PhD in non-technical fields. New PhD applicants are forced to take multiple jobs as contract employees in poorly paid “adjunct professor” positions, just to keep roofs over their heads and food on their tables. By reducing public funds for U.S. university research grant programs and discouraging foreign students from applying, administration policies effectively place even more financial pressure on our schools.
