TUESDAYS WITH TERRY: Protect College Sports Act, PHD’s & City College Bachelor Degrees
The Wall Street Journal reports that the proposed Protect College Sports Act is a federal effort to create nationwide rules for college athletics as schools, athletes, conferences, and lawmakers grapple with the rapidly changing world of NIL (name, image, and likeness) compensation and athlete payments. The growing shortage of academic jobs for Ph.D. graduates is not just a crisis, but a sign that higher education is producing more doctorates than the academic job market can absorb. For years universities have trained large numbers of Ph.D. students even as the number of tenure-track professorships has stagnated or declined. As a result, many graduates face temporary positions, lower-paying jobs, or careers outside academia. A pair of new California laws will allow the California Community Colleges system to offer up to 12 new bachelor's degree programs each year, expanding beyond the limited number previously allowed. The goal is to help fill workforce shortages in high-demand fields where four-year degree programs may be limited or unavailable.
