> I don't know what it will take to change the tide... If student tuition revenue vastly outweighs research grant funding revenue, then the students as an aggregate have the leverage to demand the change to better teaching outcomes through re-allocation of their high tuition costs to better teaching compensation. As for whether or not students in aggregate can sufficiently organize and pursue such a demand however, is an entirely different kettle of fish. Considering current revenue split [1], I don't see that leverage emerging anytime soon. Furthermore, much of what currently passes for "good teaching" evaluations in the short-term (a few years) gets compressed down to the signaling function yielded by a university diploma, or gamified teaching staff popularity rankings. No real substitute solution than putting in the grind over a long period of time to embed quality into the system through lots of changes small and large, but donors don't like to hear that message.
