GP1 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 If Akron cuts half of the professors in the Polymer Engineering School, they can still maintain the core research that drives funding and churn out a decent number of PhDs. For easy math, let's round up to 20 professors. Because of their own research and teaching responsibilities, a single professor can sit on a PhD committee for at most 4 candidates. That's 80 candidates. If the field is narrowed down to 40 in the core fields, it's still a pretty good number. It is true this will make the ABJ, which almost nobody reads. It is also true it will be reported on the local TV news which almost nobody watches. Seems like it would be easy enough to explain to the public with little effort.
