But what is the solution? Raise taxes for all of us to pay the increased salaries of humanities professors?
There is certainly great value in humanities, but that value shouldn't be determined by "an unrelated field is hot, so let's make hot money too".
Especially when it's other people footing the bill, and especially with what's going on in humanity departments these days.
